Rodgers is listed as questionable for Sunday’s matchup vs. the Bears with a wrist injury, but Steelers’ HC Mike Tomlin told the media Sunday morning that Rodgers will be out and that Mason Rudolph ($4,700) will start at quarterback.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that Rodgers “should” play next Sunday vs. the Bills. The former MVP injured his wrist during last Sunday’s win over the Bengals and after Rodgers exited the contest, Rudolph was efficient, completing 12 of his 16 passes for 127 yards and one touchdown.
This was against a bad Cincinnati defense that is allowing the second-most yards per pass this season (7.6) and Rudolph gets another strong matchup this Sunday vs. the Bears, who are giving up the third-most yards per pass (7.5).
With Rodgers expected to be inactive, Pittsburgh has moved to a three-point underdog for this matchup vs. Chicago on DraftKings Sportsbook, after opening as a 1.5-point underdog.
