Aaron Rodgers could play. If not, Mason Rudolph is in-line to start against the Chicago Bears. No matter how the top of the depth chart shakes out over the course of the week, rookie QB Will Howard is poised to get increased reps in practice. Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Tomlin didn’t rule out Howard getting some first-team reps during the week.
“We’ll see. We’ll see where the week goes. ” Tomlin said via the team’s YouTube channel.
There’s no indication that Howard would start if Rodgers isn’t able to play due to his fractured wrist.
