Jalen Ramsey's pockets just got lighter.
Pittsburgh Steelers star Jalen Ramsey has been fined $14,491 by the NFL.
Ramsey punched Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase last week. Chase spit toward Ramsey.
The NFL suspended Chase for this Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.
Meanwhile, Ramsey will play this week against the Chicago Bears.
In his first season with the Steelers, Ramsey has one interception, 29 solo tackles, two tackles for loss, two sacks and two QB hits. Pittsburgh acquired the CB from the Miami Dolphins in the offseason.
The Steelers are 6-4. They are in first place in the AFC North. The Baltimore Ravens are checking up, though, as they have are 5-5 and have won four games in a row.
Ramsey and Co. are giving up 23.2 points per game this season. That's 16th in the NFL. Ramsey is looking to win his second Super Bowl. He won Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams.
The Steelers haven't won a playoff game since 2016. It will be fascinating to see if Ramsey can help Mike Tomlin get a playoff win this season.
Pittsburgh is listing QB Aaron Rodgers as questionable to face the Bears. Rodgers, who sustained a small fracture in his left wrist against the Bengals last week, wore a black wrist stabilizer at practice this week and was a limited participant on Thursday and Friday.
In his first season with the Steelers, Rodgers has 1,969 passing yards, 19 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions. He's completing 66.4% of his passes.
If Rodgers doesn't play against the Bears, Mason Rudolph will start at QB. Rudolph came in for Rodgers and played well against the Bengals, going 12-16 for 127 yards and one touchdown.
"I got plenty of experience of going back and forth in different roles," Rudolph said this week.. "It's part of what's probably chilled out my personality a little bit. I just say screw it, and I just roll with the punches."
In 29 career games against the Bears, Rodgers has 64 touchdown passes and only five interceptions. The Green Bay Packers, led by Rodgers, beat the Bears in the NFC Championship Game in the 2010 season and won the Super Bowl against the Steelers.
