Steelers TE Darnell Washington sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens and won't return. He caught his only target for 12 yards before exiting. Washington's absence should mean more snaps for TEs Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth. Washington will get an extra day to clear protocol for next Monday night's game vs. the Dolphins.

The Steelers claimed WR Adam Thielen off waivers. That'll fix it! Thielen and the Vikings mutually parted ways earlier this week, with the veteran wanting to join a contender in what will be his final season. We're not sure Pittsburgh qualifiers. Regardless, Thielen could earn some snaps in a weak WR corps but won't be a fantasy asset. He totaled 69 yards across 11 games with Minnesota.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers has "at least" three fractures in his left wrist, "one of which is a more consequential break that can only happen with significant force," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rodgers is set to play vs. the Bills today, but it remains to be seen how the left wrist injury will impact his play. Try to avoid Rodgers in all fantasy formats this week.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is off the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Bills. He was a full participant in Thursday and Friday’s practices. “All systems go,” HC Mike Tomlin said Friday. Rodgers’ passing shouldn’t be impacted by the left wrist injury, but he’s just a low-end QB2 against Buffalo’s eighth-ranked QB defense.

Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Metcalf should be ready for his usual role against the Bills this weekend.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. It was his first full practice since hurting his left wrist in Week 11. Rodgers is seemingly on track to return for Sunday's game vs. the Bills. He'll be just a low-end QB2 in fantasy lineups for that one.

Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf (ankle) was a full-go in Thursday's practice after sitting out on Wednesday. He should be ready for his usual role vs. the Bills this weekend.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that he was optimistic about Rodgers' chances of making it back for this weekend's game vs. the Bills, but we'll monitor his status over the next few days.

Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He played his usual snap rate in Sunday's loss to the Bears, so we're guessing this is early-week rest for the veteran. But we'll see if Metcalf gets back on the practice field tomorrow.

Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf injured his left ankle in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He put no weight on it as he was helped off the field. Metcalf is officially questionable to return.

Update: Metcalf returned near the end of the second quarter.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) won't play vs. the Bears today, HC Mike Tomlin said. Rodgers was pushing to play but didn't get the green light from the team. We're expecting him back for Week 13. QB Mason Rudolph gets the start today. He's just a low-end QB2 in fantasy lineups, but we're not considering him a significant downgrade from Rodgers. We could see Pittsburgh run it a bit more today with Rodgers sidelined.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers' status for today's game vs. the Bears remains up in the air. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Rodgers is "pushing to play" but that the team has been "more cautious and guarded." This is shaping up as a game-time decision. We'll get Pittsburgh's inactives 11:30 am ET. Neither Rodgers nor backup QB Mason Rudolph are in play in 1-QB fantasy leagues -- and the QB call won't have a big impact on our projections for Pittsburgh's skill-position players.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Bears. He went from no practice on Wednesday to limited on Thursday to full participation on Friday. It all suggests that the ankle won’t be a major issue in Sunday’s game. We're projecting Warren to lead the backfield vs. Chicago, but it would not be surprising to see RB Kenneth Gainwell more involved after his big Week 11.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bears. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday with a brace on that fractured left wrist. "We’ll see where the weekend leads us,” HC Mike Tomlin said Friday. We’re sure to get plenty of updates on Rodgers between now and kickoff on Sunday. QB Mason Rudolph will start if Rodgers can’t.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. HC Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that he was "optimistic" about Warren's chances of playing vs. the Bears this weekend, and this practice seemingly has him on track. We'll update Warren's status again tomorrow.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He had a brace on that left wrist and took snaps exclusively from shotgun, according to reporters who watched the portion of practice open to the media. We'll see how that wrist responds and what Rodgers does in Friday's practice, but he seems to have a legitimate chance to play vs. the Bears this weekend.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers will not need surgery on his broken left wrist, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. HC Mike Tomlin, meanwhile, said that Rodgers will not practice on Wednesday and will likely test that wrist on Friday. It sounds like we won't get a good update on Rodgers until then, but he seemingly has a real chance to play against the Bears this weekend.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren left Sunday's game against the Bengals briefly with an ankle injury. Despite returning, his availability for this week against the Bears was in jeopardy. HC Mike Tomlin said that the injury will limit him in early portions of practice this week, but Warren is expected to be available for the game soon. He should start the game, with RB Kenneth Gainwell remaining the No. 2 option.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is "pushing to play" and is considered "50/50" for Sunday's game vs. the Bears, a source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rodgers broke a bone in his left wrist in the Week 11 win over the Bengals. That's his non-throwing side, though, and Rodgers could be able to play if he's able to grip the ball and avoid making the injury worse. Rodgers is undergoing additional tests on the wrist on Monday. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout the week. QB Mason Rudolph will get the start if Rodgers is unable to play.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers suffered a "small fracture" in his left wrist in Sunday's win over the Bengals. That sounds bad, but he adds that "the initial believe is it's nothing long term."
