Aaron Rodgers returns to Steelers practice Thursday

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was limited in practice on Thursday as he and Pittsburgh prepare for the Chicago Bears in Week 12.

Rodgers suffered a left wrist injury in the Steelers’ Sunday win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Reports indicate it was a slight break that won’t require surgery.

The Steelers’ only player to not participate in Thursday’s practice was defensive tackle Cam Heyward on a veteran rest day. Names such as Darius Slay, Jaylen Warren, Cole Holcomb, Alex Highsmith, and Ke’Shawn Williams, who missed the Cincinnati game or were injured during it, were limited of full participants.

Offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo, who has battled a pectoral injury in recent weeks, was also limited.

On the Bears’ side of things, their inside linebacker situation is becoming one to watch with Chicago’s top three at the position all missing practice on Thursday. The team is also close to getting top cornerbacks Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson back from injury, although it remains to be seen if either will be ready to play in Week 12.
