Aaron Rodgers out vs. Bears; Steelers start Mason Rudolph

Aaron Rodgers will not play Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who turned to Mason Rudolph as their starting quarterback against the Chicago Bears.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told CBS in a pregame interview that Rodgers "fought his tail off" to play against Chicago, adding that it was the "prudent" decision to sit the veteran quarterback.

"He fought his tail off all week," Tomlin told CBS. "That's the prudent play to make for us as a collective. We'll let Mason start; he's absorbed most of the reps this week."

Rodgers had been listed as questionable because of a fractured left wrist.
