Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Cleared for Week 13 action

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Friday that 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.
