Steelers Lose Key Players to Injuries in Tight Game Against Bengals
17 Nov
Summary
- Steelers RB Jaylen Warren questionable with ankle injury
- Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers dealing with left hand injury
- Steelers lead Bengals 20-9 entering fourth quarter
As of November 17th, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a challenging situation in their matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The team has lost two key players to injuries, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers dealing with a left hand injury and running back Jaylen Warren questionable to return due to an ankle injury.
Rodgers, who is in his first season with the Steelers, experienced the hand injury during the Week 11 contest. Meanwhile, Warren, a 27-year-old undrafted free agent, was leading the team in rushing yards before exiting the game with the ankle issue.
Despite these setbacks, the Steelers have managed to maintain a 20-9 lead over the Bengals as they enter the fourth quarter. With Rodgers and Warren sidelined, the team has relied on backup options, including Kenneth Gainwell and rookie Kaleb Johnson, to carry the offensive load.
The Steelers' resilience in the face of these injuries has been impressive, and they will likely need to continue that effort to secure a victory against their division rivals. The organization will closely monitor the status of Rodgers and Warren in the coming days to determine the extent of their injuries and their availability for future games.
