Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made it clear on Tuesday that staring quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will sit out the team’s regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday because of it essentially being a meaningless game. Not surprisingly, Tomlin said that Roethlisberger’s backup Mason Rudolph will get the start at quarterback against the Browns. So, will Rudolph have Roethlisberger to lean on all week when it comes to helping him prepare to play the Browns on Sunday? Michael Silver of the NFL Network doesn’t think that will be the case.
“I don’t think Mason Rudolph’s gonna get a lot of help from Ben Roethlisberger in this prep,” Silver said on Tuesday.
