Aaron Rodgers has returned to the game.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers entered the game against the Buffalo Bills with multiple fractures in his left wrist. Though the team was ensuring he would not take many hits by not staying under center for snaps, Rodgers took a massive shot from Bills defender Joey Bosa.
Following the huge hit, Rodgers was slow to get up. Not only did he take a huge hit from Bosa, but he appeared to have drawn blood following the tackle.

The above video shows the massive hit that Rodgers took. He was seen bleeding from his nose in a close-up. He is also shown holding the left wrist, which is already injured.
It was always a risk to allow Rodgers to remain in the game with an already injured wrist, but he may have just injured himself far more. Mason Rudolph is now in at quarterback.
...Rodgers has been under duress throughout the whole game, and he finally took the sack that knocked him out of the game. The Steelers' signal caller was shown exiting the blue medical tent with a bandage on his nose, but it has not been established whether he will return to the game.
Rudolph has done well in taking over, and he could lead the team to a win. At the time of this writing, the Bills are leading the way with a 16-7 score.
The Steelers are not far behind, and they could still come back to win. However, they may have to do so without Rodgers.
Should the Steelers lose this game, they will drop to 6-6 on the season and will be tied with the Baltimore Ravens for first place in the AFC North.
