Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers will not play vs. Bears

It turns out the Chicago Bears won't be facing Aaron Rodgers after all. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, who had been dealing with a broken left wrist, will not be starting against his former rival, according to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

Rodgers suffered the injury last weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals and had been pushing to play this weekend for what could be his last game against the Bears. The injury was too much to overcome, however, and the Steelers will start Mason Rudolph instead. Rodgers has a history of success against Chicago from his days with the Green Bay Packers, going 25-5 during his career.
