Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) quarterback Aaron Rodgers may have injured his throwing hand during pre-game warmups ahead of Sunday’s Week 9 home contest against the Indianapolis Colts (7-1). As shown on CBS, Rodgers looked to be in some discomfort, flexing his hand and pointing to a spot on his ring finger and pinkie.

Obviously, with it being his throwing hand, this will be something to monitor throughout the game. Rodgers has remained healthy all season, so the last thing he or the Steelers want is something like this to become an issue moving forward.

The good news for Pittsburgh is that Rodgers seems to be OK. He started Sunday’s game and completed two passes on the team’s first offensive drive.

Steelers need Aaron Rodgers to remain healthy to have a chance

Rodgers, 41, has played well in his first season with the Steelers. He entered Week 9 having thrown for 1,489 yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions on 68.3% passing. Pittsburgh’s problems have been on the defensive side of the ball but certainly, Rodgers is doing his part.

“I’m still learning from him,” wide receiver DK Metcalf recently said of Rodgers, via Steelers.com. “This game is precious. It’s fun, so treat it as such. I’m always searching for feedback, especially from the guys that I look up to. Whenever he says something about a route, I am all ears, always listening. It’s an open dialog, so I have to tell him what I am thinking as well, because he may not see something the way I see it. It’s always just a steady line of communication.

“How I can describe Aaron Rodgers is he is a guy that loves football and is going to do everything in his power to try to win and get the upper hand on Sunday. So, he’s always watching film. He’s always going to try and throw you a tidbit or a nugget of information of what he sees out there on the field, what he thinks of your route. It’s a lot of open-ended conversations to where things can go on until Sunday. Sunday is the time for us to cut it loose and let it loose. He is a great dude, a great teammate, and a great quarterback.”
