"Aaron Rodgers will not play Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who will turn to Mason Rudolph as their starting quarterback against the Chicago Bears. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told CBS in a pregame interview that Rodgers "fought his tail off" to play against Chicago, adding that it was the "prudent" decision to sit the veteran quarterback. "He fought his tail off all week," Tomlin told CBS. "That's the prudent play to make for us as a collective. We'll let Mason start; he's absorbed most of the reps this week.""
"Rodgers had been listed as questionable because of a fractured left wrist. The four-time MVP was a partial practice participant Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's practice. Rodgers arrived at Soldier Field just before 9 a.m. Sunday morning and took a lap around the field, wearing a stabilizer on his wrist. Rudolph will be backed up by rookie sixth-round pick Will Howard, who was activated from injured reserve a week ago."
Aaron Rodgers will not play Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Mason Rudolph will start at quarterback against the Chicago Bears. Coach Mike Tomlin said Rodgers "fought his tail off" to play but that sitting him was the prudent collective decision. Rodgers was listed as questionable with a fractured left wrist and was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday. He arrived at Soldier Field Sunday morning wearing a wrist stabilizer and took a lap around the field. Rudolph will be backed up by rookie Will Howard, who was recently activated from injured reserve. Rudolph's recent starting experience includes four 2023 starts with the Steelers and a Week 17 start last season for the Titans.
