Rodgers's Chicago Return: Villain No More?

Aaron Rodgers is preparing for a return to Chicago with his new team, the Steelers, but aims to leave his notorious rivalry with the Bears behind. Having dominated the Bears during his 18 seasons with the Packers, Rodgers famously declared he 'owns' them. Now, he's expressed a desire to be seen as less of a villain in Chicago.

Despite Rodgers's conciliatory tone, he fully anticipates being booed by the Chicago faithful, acknowledging the deep historical significance of the Packers-Bears rivalry. He hopes fans can move past old animosities, though he doesn't expect them to entirely.

Rodgers's current status for Sunday's game is uncertain due to a left wrist fracture. His participation will be determined by safety considerations, ensuring he can protect himself, rather than his pain threshold. Mason Rudolph may start if Rodgers is unable to play.
