Aaron Rodgers will miss Sunday’s huge clash with the Chicago Bears, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has confirmed.
The 41-year-old quarterback suffered a small fracture in his left wrist in last week’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals but Rodgers had been pushing to play at Soldier Field.
Rodgers had been questionable for the game and he made rivals and reporters wait by keeping his left hand in his pocket as he arrived in Chicago.
The quarterback even flipped off a couple of cameramen who filmed him while he took a wander around Soldier Field, according to reports.
But around two hours before kickoff, Tomlin provided ‘complete clarity’ on the 41-year-old’s status.
‘He’s not going to play today,’ Tomlin told CBS. ‘He fought his tail off all week but that’s the prudent play to make for us.’
Mason Rudolph will start for the Steelers.
