PITTSBURGH — Aaron Rodgers is officially questionable for Sunday’s game in Chicago, coach Mike Tomlin said Friday.
The quarterback, who sustained a small fracture in his left wrist against the Cincinnati Bengals, wore a black wrist stabilizer at practice this week and was a limited participant both Thursday and Friday.
If Rodgers can’t go, backup Mason Rudolph, a 2018 Steelers third-round draft pick, is in line to start his first game since a Week 17 loss a year ago when he was with the Tennessee Titans. Rudolph started five games that season and went 1-4 in those games, but in his last stint with the Steelers, he started the final three games of the regular season and helped the Steelers’ late surge for a playoff berth with three wins.
Green Bay Packers, but he insisted his history with the rival franchise wasn’t giving him extra motivation to play in this game.
«There’s incentive for every opponent, but I have enjoyed many a Sunday and Monday and Thursdays in that city,» he said with a grin. «It’s a great sports town, phenomenal sports fans and great place to play.»
