Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is feared to have suffered a 'slight break' in his left wrist, according to reports.
The NFL legend, 41, was forced off during the Steelers' game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon.
Now, according to ESPN, Rodgers will have further tests on Monday to understand the extent of the problem - and how long he will be out.
Rodgers, who has led the Steelers to the top of AFC North in his first season in Pittsburgh, throws the ball with his right hand.
But the injury to his left wrist was bad enough for him to leave the field during the second quarter of the Steelers' 34-12 win against Cincinnati.
Footage showed Rodgers landing awkwardly on his hand after he was tackled while throwing the ball on a second-and-goal play.
