Game-Time Call on Aaron Rodgers for Steelers at Bears Today

A medical clearance close to kickoff will determine his availability.

Overview

  • Rodgers is listed as questionable with a fractured non-throwing left wrist after limited practices and wearing a brace, with team doctors set to make the final decision.
  • If Rodgers is not cleared, Mason Rudolph is expected to start at quarterback for Pittsburgh.
  • Chicago will be without starting linebackers Tremaine Edmunds, T. J. Edwards and Noah Sewell, thinning a defense already dealing with other injuries.
  • Kickoff is 1:00 p.m. ET at Soldier Field on CBS, with the Bears 7-3 and the Steelers 6-4 as both enter in first place in their divisions.
  • Betting markets lean toward Chicago by about 2.5 points, and Rodgers’ long-standing success against the Bears from his Green Bay tenure adds intrigue if he plays.
