Ahead of Sunday’s 1 p.m. EST kickoff, the Steelers and Bears released their inactive reports.
The big news for Pittsburgh, or course, is that starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers is out with a wrist injury,
meaning Mason Rudolph will get the start in the Windy City.
Starting outside linebacker Alex Highsmith, who was doubtful entering the day with a pectoral injury, is inactive as well.
As expected, veteran defenders Cam Heyward and Darius Slay are off the inactive list and good to go.
The Bears, on the other hand, will be without their top three linebackers and two of their top cornerbacks, as was announced earlier in the week. However, Chicago will also be without starting left tackle Theo Benedet, who was questionable entering Sunday. Rookie Ozzy Trapilo is expected to start in his replacement.
Bears safety Jaquan Brisker, who was also questionable entering the day, is active.
