Team news: Pittsburgh Steelers

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin told reporters that Aaron Rodgers — who missed last week’s game with a fracture in his left wrist — will not have an injury designation for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills and the veteran QB is good to go.

The Steelers will look to get back both Rodgers and DK Metcalf, who have both been pretty disappointing for fantasy purposes. Rodgers should be considered in the QB2/3 range, with an inconsistent Metcalf best regarded as a WR3.

Looks like both Steelers are on track to play Week 13, with lukewarm fantasy implications. Rodgers should be considered in the QB2/3 range, with an inconsistent Metcalf best regarded as a WR3.

It sounds like Aaron Rodgers will only be sidelined for one week with his left wrist fracture.

In his Tuesday press conference, head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that he’s optimistic about Rodgers playing in the Week 13 matchup with the Bills.

Tomlin said Rodgers worked his tail off to try and get on the field last week, but ultimately it was Rudolph who got the start. Tomlin added Rodgers will be limited early in the week but added he's comfortable with Rodgers general trajectory.

The team is optimistic Jaylen Warren will play on Sunday against the Bears.

HC Mike Tomlin said Warren will be limited early in the week. In a news item Monday, Warren said he likely could have come back into Week 11's game, so it all adds up to what is hopefully Warren ready to go against the Bears. It's an earlier Sunday game, so owners will know well in advance as far as their lineup goes. Gainwell would likely be the main back with Johnson getting some work should Warren be unable to go.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers underwent further tests Monday that confirmed he won’t need surgery on his fractured left wrist.

Rodgers is pushing to play Sunday at Chicago, but doctors must clear him and his status moving forward is TBD, the post went on to say. The Steelers are an earlier Sunday game at the Bears in Week 12, so owners should have plenty of time to adjust lineups if needed. If Rodgers can't go, it will be Rudolph. Rudolph ended up 12 of 16 for 127 yards and a TD last week.

Jaylen Warren on his ankle injury:

“I could have (returned), but it was part of being smart. We got a lot of games ahead of us, so they’re looking out for me.”

It's good news for Warren and his fantasy owners. And, it gives him a shot to play in Week 12's game at the Bears. Injury reports later this week will be key, and the game is an early Sunday contest so owners should have plenty of time to adjust either way. Gainwell should get the bulk of the work if Warren ends up not playing and the rookie Johnson will get some touches well.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers is believed to have a "slight break" in his left, non-throwing wrist following Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Rodgers will undergo further testing Monday. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, but it is possible that Mason Rudolph will get the start next week against the Bears. Rodgers suffered the injury just before halftime. Rudolph played the second half and went 12/16 for 127 yards and a touchdown. We'll have more of an idea on Monday what Rodgers' timeframe will look like.

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers may be dealing with a hand issue during pregame warmups before today’s game against the Colts.

Rodgers was seen checking his hand and his fingers. CBS analysts Tony Romo and Matt Ryan speculated the injury may have come while taking snaps with a backup center — typical for quarterbacks while the starting center may be getting taped. We’ll see if this affects Rodgers in any way against a good Colts defense.

A Packers teammate of quarterback Aaron Rodgers is set to join up with him in Pittsburgh.

According to multiple reports, the Steelers will sign wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Valdes-Scantling worked out for the team on Monday.

Valdes-Scantling appeared in five games for the 49ers earlier this season and was released from their injured reserve list earlier this month, the story said. Of course, it's a reunion between QB Aaron Rodgers and MVS from their days with the Packers, and the Steelers are likely hoping there is still some chemistry.

Warren looks like he's good to go for Week 6 and will likely still give away some touches to Gainwell, who filled in nicely two weeks ago when the team played overseas.
