According to a report by ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is pushing to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears but the team is dropping no hints about his status for Sunday’s game. Rodgers is trying to work his way back from a wrist injury he suffered in last week’s win over the Cincinnati and heads into the game listed as questionable on the injury report.
If head coach Mike Tomlin knows who is starting at quarterback this week, he’s not dropping hints to anyone who communicates with Schefter. The team is most likely going to make Rodgers a true gametime decision, see how Rodgers does in pregame and determine if it will be him or Mason Rudolph getting the start.
Rodgers played the first half against the Bengals, but was unable to return after his wrist injury. Rudolph came in and played well in the second half. Rudolph got plenty of reps in practice this week so the offense should be in good hands either way.
