Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears due to a broken left wrist, with Mason Rudolph stepping in as his replacement.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will miss Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears after being ruled out due to a broken left wrist, an injury he sustained in the second quarter of last weekend's win over Cincinnati. Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed the decision, calling it the 'prudent play' and announcing that Mason Rudolph, who has absorbed most of the practice reps, will start in Rodgers' place. Rodgers, who turns 42 in December, has had a highly durable 21-year career despite previous injuries like broken collarbones and a torn Achilles. In his first season with the Steelers, he has completed 66.4% of his passes for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. This absence is particularly notable given Rodgers' dominant 25-5 career record against the Bears. The Steelers' upcoming schedule includes hosting Buffalo next Sunday before a key AFC North matchup against Baltimore on December 7.
