Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Case Keenum

Tuesday, November 18, 11:50 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will not require surgery to repair the left wrist fracture he sustained during Pittsburgh's Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Pelissero reports that Rodgers is still pushing to play in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears, but "doctors must clear him and his status moving forward is TBD." Across 10 starts this season, Rodgers has completed 66.4% of his pass attempts for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. If he is unable to go in Week 12, Steelers backup Mason Rudolph would be in line to make the start against Chicago. More should be known about Rodgers' short-term availability in the coming days, but it appears he has avoided a long-term absence.

Chicago Bears quarterback Case Keenum (leg) has made the 53-man roster and will open 2025 as the team's third-string signal-caller. Keenum has been dealing with a minor leg injury this month, but it won't be enough to keep him off the roster. The well-traveled 37-year-old joined the Bears in free agency in April after a second stint with the Houston Texans. He didn't play at all last year after suffering a foot injury and hasn't attempted 100-plus passes in a season since 2019, which he spent with Washington. With Caleb Williams entrenched as QB1 and Tyson Bagent locked into the No. 2 role, Keenum shouldn't see any meaningful action this season unless things go catastrophically wrong for the Bears.
