Per Ian Rapoport, the Steelers will start QB Aaron Rodgers in Week 13 in a matchup against the Bills.
Rodgers had been pushing to play with a brace after fracturing a bone in his wrist, but ultimately, backup QB Mason Rudolph made the start in Week 12.
Rodgers, 41, is a former first-round pick of the Packers back in 2005. He agreed to a four-year, $134 million extension that included over $100 million guaranteed in 2018.
Rodgers was owed a base salary of $25 million in the final year of his deal in 2022 when he agreed to a three-year, $150 million extension with $101 million of the deal guaranteed.
After one year, the Packers traded him to the Jets for a package that included a second-round pick in 2023 and a conditional 2024 second that could become a first.
He played just four snaps in 2023 before tearing his Achilles in Week 1, but returned as the Jets’ quarterback for the 2024 season. New York released him with a June 1 designation after the season.
He then went on to sign a one-year deal with the Steelers.
In 2025, Rodgers has appeared in 10 games for the Steelers and completed 66.4 percent of his passes for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
