NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Pelissero report that the turnaround from fracturing his wrist last weekend to playing again this weekend was too quick. Rapoport reports Rodgers “should” play next week against the Bills.
Head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed to a reporter that Mason Rudolph will start and Will Howard is the backup.
#Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers has been pushing to play against the #Bears, but in the end, it was too quick, per me and @TomPelissero.
