Behind the Steel Curtain
The Steelers enjoyed their largest margin of victory yet this season in Sunday’s 34-12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
However, Pittsburgh didn’t leave the game injury-free.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed postgame that starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who didn’t return to the game after halftime, was out with a wrist injury.
“It’ll be evaluated in the morning and I’ll give you guys more information there,” Tomlin told the media.
He added that rookie returner Ke’Shawn Williams has a concussion and is in concussion protocol, and running back Jaylen Warren — who returned to the game after briefly leaving — is dealing with an ankle injury.
As always, Tomlin called any other health concerns “bumps and bruises associated with play.”
The Steelers will next take on the Chicago Bears in a week on Nov. 23.
As Rodgers’ replacement, Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 12/16 passes for 127 yards as a touchdown in one half of play.
