PITTSBURGH — Aaron Rodgers<\/a> returned to Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> practice on Thursday and was a full participant for the first time since he suffered a broken wrist, a promising sign that Pittsburgh could welcome him back against the Buffalo Bills. <\/p>\n

Rodgers added he did not yet feel comfortable enough to take a snap from under center, and it was frustrating to be out on Sunday. His practices on Thursday and Friday will determine just how he feels and then he will make a decision from there.<\/p>\n

Rodgers was seen sporting the brace, which is something he has been fitted for last week. He also attempted shotgun snaps to try and see where he was at with his comfortability.<\/p>\n

The key indications for him to have played would be all about safety and functionality. Rodgers wants to be able to protect himself, but he also needs to be sure that he can function in the basics of the quarterback position.<\/p>\n

Head coach Mike Tomlin said after the team\u2019s game against the Chicago Bears that he had \u2018great optimism\u2019 Rodgers would end up playing against the Bills, and it seems like he is on pace to do just that right now, but there is no certainty he will play until he gets clearance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PITTSBURGH — Aaron Rodgers returned to Pittsburgh Steelers practice on Thursday and was a full participant for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[27599,11195,73,75,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-46948","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh","8":"tag-a1b04636","9":"tag-nflraw25","10":"tag-pittsburgh","11":"tag-pittsburgh-headlines","12":"tag-pittsburgh-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
