Joe Theismann explains how roughing the passer calls have changed
Former QB Joe Theismann weighs in on today’s NFL and how roughing calls have changed over the years.
Injuries have defined Week 11 in the NFL.
Aaron Rodgers is the latest one to fall victim to one as the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback suffered a left hand injury against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to the Steelers.
He was seen grabbing the wrist late in the first half after taking a hit. Head coach Mike Tomlin told the CBS broadcast after halftime that Rodgers was being evaluated for the injury.
Here’s the latest on Rodgers.
Rodgers suffered a left hand injury against the Bengals and is questionable to return.
Rudolph was seen warming up prior to the second half and replaced Rodgers on the Steelers’ first drive in the third quarter.
When asked about Rodgers’ ability to return to the contest, Tomlin said, “We’re hopeful but we better get Mason Rudolph ready to go.”
Steelers QB depth chart
- Aaron Rodgers
- Mason Rudolph
- Will Howard (emergency third QB)
If Rodgers is unable to return and Rudolph gets injured the Howard would be allowed to check into the game.
