Overview
- Rodgers exited late in the first half against the Bengals after landing on his left, non-throwing wrist and did not return.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported an initial concern of a “slight break,” and NFL Network reported on-site X-rays showed a small fracture, with further testing scheduled today.
- Head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Rodgers was out with a wrist injury and said more information will follow post-evaluation, offering no timetable.
- Backup Mason Rudolph went 12-of-16 for 127 yards and a touchdown to close a 34-12 win, and multiple reports suggest he is expected to start against Chicago.
- Pittsburgh moved to 6-4 and sits atop the AFC North, heightening the stakes of any absence as the team assesses short-term plans and postseason implications.
