Rodgers did not participate in the second half of the Steelers’ 34-12 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, due to the injury suffered at the end of the second quarter. Tomlin revealed on Monday that Rodgers wished to return to the game. Mason Rudolph, who replaced Rodgers at quarterback, would be the starter against the Bears if the Steelers decide Rodgers is not fit to play.“We’ll see where the week takes us and we’ll take it day by day,” Tomlin added.
