The Steelers don’t expect quarterback Aaron Rodgers to miss another game with his fractured left wrist.
Rodgers was listed as questionable to play after returning for limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Head coach Mike Tomlin told CBS that Rodgers would miss the game a couple of hours before kickoff and said after the Steelers’ 31-28 loss to the Bears that he made the decision to go with Mason Rudolph on Saturday.
Tomlin also said at his press conference that he thinks Rodgers will be ready to play against the Bills next Sunday.
“I anticipate him being ready for next week ,” Tomlin said. “It was a prudent decision to make. Certainly it was a fluid week for him, a fluid week for Mason in terms of reps and so forth. I think it’ll be in our rear view as we move forward. I’m hopeful of that.”
Thanks to the loss and the Ravens’ win, the Steelers are now out of first place in the AFC North. We’ll see if Rodgers’ return to action can nudge them back ahead of Baltimore before the year is out.
