Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' plans to get on the practice field on Thursday came to fruition.

Reporters at the open portion of the Steelers practice shared pictures of Rodgers in uniform and going through drills. The team's injury report will bring word about how much work Rodgers did during the session.

Rodgers suffered a fracture in his left wrist during last Sunday's win over the Bengals. He said on Wednesday that he wants to play, but needs to know he'll be able to protect himself on the field along with getting a green light from the medical staff in order to face the Bears.

Mason Rudolph would be the likely starter if Rodgers does not play. Rookie Will Howard would serve as Rudolph's backup in that case.

The Vikings parted ways with cornerback Dwight McGlothern on Thursday.

The team announced that they have waived McGlothern ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers. They did not make any corresponding addition to the 53-man roster, but have center Ryan Kelly on his way back from injured reserve and could use the opening to activate him this week.

McGlothern signed with the Vikings after going undrafted last year. He appeared on special teams and defense in five games as a rookie and in eight games this season. McGlothern did not record a tackle in any of those appearances.

Isaiah Rodgers, Byron Murphy, and Fabian Moreau are the remaining corners on the active roster in Minnesota.

The Chiefs expect to have a full house at practice on Thursday.

According to the team's pre-practice injury report, they plan to have every player on the active roster on the practice field in some capacity. That's a positive change for wide receiver Xavier Worthy and left guard Kingsley Suamataia after they both missed Wednesday's session.

It's a similar pattern to the one Worthy followed last week while dealing with an ankle injury. He was limited on Thursday and a full participant on Friday before catching three passes for 25 yards in Kansas City's loss to the Broncos.

Suamataia is in the concussion protocol, so he will need to pass that in order to be on the field against the Colts on Sunday.
