Steelers’ Injury Outlook Brightens as Rodgers, Metcalf Practice Fully Before Bills

Final availability depends on late‑week evaluations, including Rodgers’ wrist functionality under center.

Overview

  • Thursday’s official report moved Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Alex Highsmith and Cameron Heyward to full practice, with veteran rest designations for Isaac Seumalo, T.J. Watt and Jonnu Smith.
  • Ian Rapoport reported Rodgers was a full participant and described him as on track to play in Week 13.
  • Rodgers acknowledged he is not yet comfortable taking snaps under center, wore a brace, tested shotgun work and plans to decide after the remaining practices.
  • Metcalf returned to full participation after rolling his ankle in Chicago and appears likely to play, though his practice workload may be managed.
  • Pittsburgh’s injury picture improved heading into Sunday against Buffalo, offering a more positive near‑term outlook than earlier in the week.
