The Pittsburgh Steelers released their list of inactive players for their Week 12 Sunday afternoon road game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Stadium. Two players on the visiting team will be inactive for the Week 12 road contest in Chicago due injuries.
QB Aaron Rodgers will be inactive today against the Bears after sustaining a left wrist injury last Sunday. That fractured wrist injury resulted in Rodgers entering the weekend listed as questionable on the injury report. QB Mason Rudolph is now expected to start on Sunday against the Bears. Rookie QB Will Howard will be the backup to Rudolph on Sunday. Rodgers is not listed as the emergency inactive 3rd quarterback against the Bears.
After being listed as doubtful for the Bears game on the Friday injury report, OLB Alex Highsmith (pectoral) is inactive Sunday afternoon. This is the fourth game this season that Highsmith has missed and his second in a row. Highsmith was a limited practice participant this past week so hopefully he’ll be able to return for the team’s Week 13 home game.
The Steelers’ Sunday afternoon list of inactive players also includes three other healthy scratches in OL Andrus Peat, DL Logan Lee, and DL Brodric Martin-Rhodes. Lee has been inactive every week since the team’s Week 4 game. Martin-Rhodes, who was signed just a few weeks ago, has yet to be active for any game as a Steeler. Peat has dressed and been active for just one game this season and that came in Week 10.
The Steelers only need five inactive players this week because they chose not to elevate and players from the team’s practice squad on Saturday. Obviously, DT Cameron Heyward (ankle) and CB Darius Slay (concussion) are both active on Sunday after entering the weekend listed as questionable on the team’s injury report. Both players had their game-status upgraded from questionable to no listing on Saturday.
