Overview
- X-rays showed a small fracture in Rodgers’ non-throwing left wrist, and the Steelers scheduled additional scans Monday to determine severity and treatment.
- Rodgers exited late in the second quarter against the Bengals, and Mason Rudolph closed out a 34-12 win by going 12-of-16 for 127 yards and a touchdown.
- NFL Network reports Rodgers is pushing to face the Bears and is roughly 50/50 to play, with his grip strength and re-injury risk expected to drive the call.
- Coach Mike Tomlin said clarity will come after evaluations, and multiple reports suggest the issue may not be long-term and might not require surgery, though the timeline remains uncertain.
- Pittsburgh is 6-4 and atop the AFC North, and Rudolph is the likely starter if the Steelers choose to sit Rodgers in Week 12.
