Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Gives Fans Big Update About Status For Week 13 Versus Bills

The Pittsburgh Steelers went to Soldier Field in Week 12 to face off against the Chicago Bears. When this matchup was first announced in the offseason, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was excited to lead his Steelers against the team he once famously claimed he still owned. Unfortunately for Rodgers, he was unable to play, and Mason Rudolph started in his place. The Steelers fell 31-28 in a close contest, leaving fans wondering how the outcome might have changed with a healthy Rodgers under center.

Many Steelers fans were left curious about how much of a difference Rodgers could have made in that game. Rudolph did a respectable job, keeping the team competitive, but the absence of Pittsburgh’s veteran quarterback was clearly felt in critical moments. With the AFC North race tightening, every game has major playoff implications, and losing that edge in Chicago only increased the urgency for Rodgers to return.

Now, heading into Week 13, Rodgers may not be at full health, but he could be pushing to play. On Wednesday, Steelers fans got an update directly from Rodgers during his conversation with Pittsburgh media. He shared insight into his chances of taking the field against the Buffalo Bills, what his recovery process looks like, and how he plans to contribute even if he is not completely back to 100 percent. Fans will be watching closely, knowing that Rodgers’ presence could make the difference in one of the most pivotal games of the season.

"I wasn't able to go last week, so I am just hopeful for a different outcome this week," Rodgers said while speaking with several members of the Pittsburgh media on Wednesday. 

Steelers insider Brooke Pryor heard Rodgers’ initial answer and wanted to dig deeper. She asked him for more details about his current condition. 

Pryor specifically wanted to know what the biggest difference would be that could allow Rodgers to play against the Bills. Rodgers explained the key factors effecting his readiness. He shared what he felt he needed to do to be on the field for Week 13.

"Ugh, time," Rodgers said. "Time for healing."

Steelers fans are eagerly awaiting news on whether Rodgers will be able to take the field on Sunday. He is currently dealing with a left wrist injury, but that does not automatically mean he will be sidelined for the game. Early reports suggest that Rodgers is optimistic about his chances of playing in Week 13 against the Bills. 

While he remains hopeful, the situation is still fluid, and much can change between now and game time. Fans will be watching closely, knowing that even a limited Rodgers on the field could have a major impact on the Steelers’ chances.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Confirms More Details About Injured Left Wrist

While speaking with another Steelers insider, Mike DeFabo, Rodgers admitted that he is wearing a cast on his left wrist. He was directly asked if he had been able to take snaps under center, and Rodgers was honest, saying, "Not today."

So, as of Wednesday, Rodgers has not been able to take any full-field snaps under center. Despite that, he remains hopeful that he can start against the Bills in what has become a must-win game for Pittsburgh. Fans will be watching closely to see if Rodgers can overcome the injury and lead the team when it matters most.
