Mason Rudolph of the Pittsburgh Steelers may be a trade option for the Chicago Bears due to quarterback injuries. Caleb Williams is ruled out for the Bears' next game, while Tyson Bagent remains in concussion protocol. The Steelers currently have four quarterbacks, leading some analysts to suggest Rudolph could be traded for a Day 3 draft pick.
