Rodgers (left wrist) returned to practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers didn't practice Wednesday, but that same day the QB noted he felt like his wrist was healing and didn't come out of Week 13 action "any worse for wear," per Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site. At this stage, there's nothing to suggest that Rodgers is in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Ravens, with Pittsburgh's upcoming injury report set to reveal whether he worked fully or was limited Thursday.

Rodgers (left wrist) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers' presence on the 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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Rodgers will start Sunday's game against the Bills but will be playing through three non-displaced fractures in his left wrist, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers suffered the injury in the 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.

Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Friday that Rodgers (left wrist) will start Sunday's game against the Bills, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tomlin noted of the QB Friday, "Full participant today, no injury designation Sunday. All systems go." Per Pryor, Rodgers fractured his left non-throwing wrist Nov. 16, but following back-to-back full practices, he's been deemed good to go this weekend, which sends Mason Rudolph to a backup role Week 13. Through 10 games, the 41-year-old signal-caller has thrown for 1,969 yards, with a 19:7 TD:INT in that span. 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 overall is giving up a league-low average 168.2 passing yards per game.

Rodgers (wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Rodgers (left wrist) returned to practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Pryor, Rodgers' left wrist was stabilized, but after missing Wednesday's session, the QB's return to the field a day later is nonetheless a positive development ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. The Steelers' upcoming injury report is slated to clarify Rodgers' official participation level Thursday.

Rodgers (wrist) didn't practice Wednesday but plans to participate Thursday and Friday, Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live reports.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like his activity level Friday will depend on how he feels during/after Thursday's session. Rodgers hopes to return for Sunday's game against Buffalo after missing a Week 12 loss at Chicago, but he acknowledged Wednesday that he still wasn't ready to take snaps under center, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports. He's wearing a cast to protect his broken left wrist, with Mason Rudolph taking first-team practice reps in the meantime. Comments from Rodgers suggest he won't need clearance from a doctor and is fine to manage the pain, but functionality clearly remains a concern when it comes to taking snaps and using his non-throwing hand to grip the ball.

Head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Rodgers (wrist) will be a limited practice participant in the early portion of the week, but the Steelers have "great optimism" that the quarterback will be available Sunday versus the Bills, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. "I'm comfortable with his general trajectory," Tomlin added.

EDGE Analysis

Despite exiting the Steelers' Week 11 win over the Bengals with a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist, Rodgers appeared to be a true game-day decision leading up to this past Sunday's game against the Bears after practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday. Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, Tomlin said that Rodgers "fought his tail off" to play in the Steelers' eventual 31-28 loss in Chicago, but the team decided it was a "prudent" decision to hold him out and have Mason Rudolph make the start after he had handled most of the first-team reps during the week. While Rodgers looks like he'll remain a limited practice participant when the Steelers return to the field Wednesday, the expectation is that he'll increase his activity as the week rolls along and put himself on a path to playing against Buffalo. If Rodgers ends up suiting up Sunday, he'll likely need to wear a protective brace on his non-throwing wrist.
