Why Steelers' Aaron Rodgers keeps flexing his right hand with apparent injury image

The CBS cameras are everywhere.

Prior to Aaron Rodgers and his Pittsburgh Steelers facing the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9, cameras observed Rodgers appearing to be experiencing some discomfort.

Rodgers was demonstrating something to a teammate on his right hand, possibly using his ring and pinky fingers. Following that, the video depicted Rodgers extending his arm and performing stretches.

Rodgers' health in question.

No prior signs suggested Aaron Rodgers could be hurt.

However, the way he moved his hands in the video clip indicates a degree of unease.

Obviously, a QB doesn't want anything in pain on their throwing hand. It's a key instrument for success.

Rodgers has likely dealt with many ailments through his long NFL career, so until he shows any signs of actual struggle throwing the ball, this might be nothing.

But if throws start to get a little off, or if Rodgers shows more pain, it could be a big deal taking on the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts.
