Steelers HC Mike Tomlin on why Aaron Rodgers was cleared in Week 13

Following a one-game absence, Aaron Rodgers will make his return this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills — and Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike Tomlin shared a little more about what went into clearing the 41-year-old quarterback to play.

After revealing that it's "all systems go" for Rodgers in Week 13, Tomlin touched on what he saw in this week's practice compared to last week, where the veteran quarterback was ruled out with his fractured wrist.

"Just more reps," Tomlin said about Rodgers. "Certainly, it's another week. I'm sure there's more comfort there, not only in him but in the medical experts."

In Rodgers’ absence, Rudolph threw for 171 yards and one touchdown, as well as being responsible for two costly turnovers in the close 31-28 loss to the Chicago Bears.

With Rodgers leading the offense, the Steelers have their best shot at defeating the 7-4 Bills in a matchup with major playoff implications.
