The Pittsburgh Steelers are taking on the Indianapolis Colts, and there is already an issue with the big AFC showdown. During pregame warmups, Aaron Rodgers appeared to suffer a hand injury to his hand.

Rodgers was shown in warmups pointing to his hand. While the injury appears not to be serious enough to pull him from the game, this could severely affect him as the day goes on.
Tony Romo and Matt Ryan discussed the injury and revealed that it could have been a backup center that “jammed” Rodgers’ finger.
Rodgers was shown in the video trying to work out his hand, and pointing it out to training staff.
“We have a little breaking news. Aaron Rodgers right here may have injured his hands in warmups. I’m curious, I never had anything like this happen to my throwing hand,” Ryan stated.
“We are speculating, but most likely you take a snap from a backup center … but he jams your finger,” Romo said.

Rodgers injuring his throwing hand is not something the Steelers want to see, especially right before the team is set to face the most dangerous team in the AFC. The good news is that Rodgers has not been ruled out due to the injury, but it could be something to monitor.
The Steelers are currently 4-3 on the season, and are on a two-game losing streak. The Colts, on the other hand, are 7-1. They look to be the team to beat in the NFL, and Pittsburgh will need Rodgers to be healthy to give them the best chance at winning.
Pittsburgh may have to pull Rodgers if he takes another hit to his hand. For now, he will remain under center for this important AFC matchup.
