Steelers receive great news on DK Metcalf's injury ahead of Week 13

The Pittsburgh Steelers receive a promising injury update ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, as DK Metcalf returned to practice after dealing with an ankle injury.

After missing Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury he suffered in the Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears, Metcalf practiced in full on Thursday — positioning himself to be available against the Bills this Sunday.

In the loss to Chicago, Metcalf was able to return to the contest after suffering his injury but unfortunately re-aggravated the setback after being rolled up on by tight end Jonnu Smith. His trajectory to play versus the Bills appears to be trending in the right direction following his full participation on Thursday, however.

Metcalf wasn't the only injured Steeler to return on Thursday, as 41-year-old QB Aaron Rodgers practiced in full for the first time since fracturing his left wrist in the Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
