Aaron Rodgers out with injury as Steelers turn to Mason Rudolph vs. Bears


Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is expected to be inactive for Sunday’s Week 12 road matchup against the Chicago Bears due to his wrist injury.

Mason Rudolph will start under center for Pittsburgh, head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed in a pregame interview with CBS.

Rodgers, 41, exited the Steelers’ Week 11 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals after suffering a fracture in his non-throwing wrist in the second quarter.

Action between the Steelers (6–4) and Bears (7–3) kicks off at 1 p.m. ET.
