Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Gets more aggressive
Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of 34 passes for 284 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens. He added two rushes for zero yards and a touchdown.Rodgers entered the game with one of the lowest average intended air yards in the league, but he took plenty of downfield shots in Sunday's divisional matchup. He was particularly effective targeting DK Metcalf, as the duo connected for long gains of 52 and 41 yards. Rodgers also accounted for multiple scores for the first time since Week 8, beginning with a one-yard touchdown scamper and later on a 38-yard pass -- most of which came after the catch -- to Jaylen Warren. It's difficult to trust the Pittsburgh Steelers' passing offense moving forward, but Rodgers could keep the momentum going with a favorable Week 15 matchup against Miami.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Practices fully Thursday
Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) practiced fully Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Pittsburgh Steelers' official site reports.Rodgers logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday as he continues to work through a left wrist fracture that he sustained in Week 11, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. When asked if he feels like his wrist is healing, and if he anticipates making any tweaks to the cast and stabilizer that he used this past Sunday against the Bills, Rodgers said Wednesday, "Yeah, I hope so. ... It's definitely healing. I appreciate the extra day off." The QB's return to a full practice Thursday sets the stage for him to start Sunday's game against the Ravens, with both teams heading into Week 14 action at 6-6, which puts them atop the AFC North standings.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Sits out practice Wednesday
Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) didn't practice Wednesday.Rodgers' presence on the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 14 injury report isn't surprising, as coach Mike Tomlin indicated during his weekly press conference that the QB would be among those whose practice participation would be limited to start the week. That said, Rodgers noted after Wednesday's practice he felt like his non-throwing wrist was healing. "I didn't come out of the game any worse for wear," said Rodgers, who started this past Sunday against the Bills, missing only a series when he was hit in the nose and bleeding. Chances are, Rodgers will return to practice Thursday, as he did last week when he logged a full session.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Struggles in return
Aaron Rodgers completed 10 of 21 passes for 117 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Bills. He had one rush for zero yards and lost a fumble.Rodgers returned from a one-game absence caused by a broken left wrist and played with a cast to guard the injury. He was as ineffective as his stat line indicates, as he led only one touchdown drive on a short field that was capped by a rushing score from Jaylen Warren. Rodgers also had a game-changing mistake to begin the second half, when he was sacked and fumbled, which was returned by the Bills for a touchdown. He also suffered a nose injury on the play, which forced him to miss one drive. Rodgers should be the starter heading into a pivotal Week 14 matchup against the Ravens, but he's now gone four straight games with one or zero touchdowns and three straight matchups with under 165 passing yards.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Some limitations
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will likely not line up under center in Sunday's game against the Bills, instead being deployed in shotgun and pistol formations, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.The idea behind this is that Rodgers will have less impact receiving the snap in his injured left wrist. This limitation might not be as significant as it might seem, because Rodgers already often is in shotgun or the pistol, more than other starting quarterbacks.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Playing through three fractures
Aaron Rodgers will start Sunday's game against the Bills but will be playing through at least three non-displaced fractures in his left wrist, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Rodgers suffered the injury in the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 11 win over the Bengals and was forced to miss his first game of the season in last Sunday's loss to the Bears, though he appeared to make a strong bid to be available for that contest. Mason Rudolph ultimately drew the start against Chicago, but he'll be returning to a backup role Sunday after Rodgers was able to show enough improvement over the course of Week 13 prep to gain clearance to play. Rodgers is still likely to don some sort of protective brace on his non-throwing wrist Sunday to guard against further injury.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Cleared for Week 13 action
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Friday that Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will start Sunday's game against the Bills, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.Tomlin noted that Rodgers was a full participant in Friday's practice and is "all systems go" for the Week 13 contest. Per Pryor, Rodgers fractured his left non-throwing wrist Nov. 16, but following two staight full practices, he's shown enough progress to receive the green light to start, sending Mason Rudolph back to the backup role. Through 10 games, the 41-year-old signal-caller has thrown for 1,969 yards, with a 19:7 TD:INT. In his return from a one-game absence, Rodgers will square off against a 7-4 Buffalo team that has lost two of its last three contests but is giving up a league-low average of 168.2 passing yards per game.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Practices in full Thursday
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.Rodgers' unrestricted practice level effectively confirms Ian Rapoport of NFL Network's report that the veteran quarterback is on track to return to the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Bills. Rodgers missed Week 12 due to a non-displaced fracture to his non-throwing wrist, and per Saunders still wore a cast at Thursday's practice. It's possible he'll still have the wrist stabilized during Sunday's game. Top wideout DK Metcalf (ankle) also practiced in full Thursday.
