The Steelers and Bears meet on Sunday, and each team has a lengthy list of injuries and game statuses following Friday’s practice.
Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, as expected, is questionable entering
the weekend. He suffered a slight wrist break against the Bengals in Week 11 and was a limited participant in Thursday and Friday’s practices.
Outside linebacker Alex Highsmith, who missed last week’s game with a pectoral injury, is doubtful. Veteran defensive tackle Cam Heyward is a surprise addition to the list, now questionable with an ankle injury after being seen in a walking boot on Friday.
Cornerback Darius Slay, who suffered a concussion against the Bengals, is questionable heading into Week 12.
On the Bears’ side of things, all three of the team’s top inside linebackers are out for the game. Top defensive backs Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson, who are currently on injured reserve, practiced in full by the end of this week and are questionable ahead of Sunday. Starting safety Jaquan Brisker is also questionable.
Bears starting left tackle Theo Benedet is also questionable with a quad injury; depth running backs Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer are both out.
