Aaron Rodgers Cleared to Start Against Bills Sunday at Home
BREAKING NEWS: Aaron Rodgers is officially cleared to start for the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium. After missing last week’s game due to a broken left wrist sustained on November 16, the 41-year-old quarterback participated fully in practice for the second consecutive day on Friday.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that Rodgers will not carry any injury designation, stating, “It’s all systems go.” This marks a significant turnaround for the Steelers as they aim to improve their 6-5 record and break a first-place tie with the Baltimore Ravens.
Rodgers expressed optimism about returning to the field, highlighting that the final decision was up to Tomlin and the medical staff. He was held out of last week’s loss to the Chicago Bears after being limited in practice. The Steelers have struggled recently, dropping four of their last six games, making this matchup against the 7-4 Bills critical for their playoff hopes.
In addition to Rodgers’ return, the Steelers will welcome back outside linebacker Alex Highsmith, who missed two games due to a pectoral injury. Wide receiver D.K. Metcalf, who tweaked an ankle against the Bears, is also expected to be on the field, adding more firepower to Pittsburgh’s offense.
As kickoff approaches, the Steelers are eager to capitalize on this crucial home game against a formidable Bills team. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely, as this game could define Pittsburgh’s season trajectory.
Stay tuned for updates as we follow the latest developments leading up to the game on Sunday.
