Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Max Escarpio | Last updated Oct 10, 2025 10:49 PM ET

The Pittsburgh Steelers found their quarterback in NFL star Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers is playing in his first season with the Steelers after spending most of his career with the Green Bay Packers and having a short stint with the New York Jets.

In his first season with the Steelers, Rodgers has led Pittsburgh to a 3-1 record.

The Steelers have defeated the Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots and New York Jets. They suffered their only loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Pittsburgh is set to play its first division game in Week 6. The Steelers will face the Cleveland Browns after enjoying their bye week.

Ahead of the matchup against the Browns, Aaron Rodgers and his team suffered a blow to the lineup. Rodgers will be playing without an electric playmaker, who continues to be sidelined despite the extra time.

Calvin Austin did not practice on Friday due to a shoulder injury. He has been ruled out for the Pittsburgh Steelers' matchup against the Browns in Week 6.

Calvin Austin began the season with a bang. Austin posted one touchdown and four receptions on 70 yards in the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets.

So far this season, Austin has posted 139 yards on 10 receptions and two touchdowns.

Calvin Austin was the only scratch on the Pittsburgh Steelers' injury report before the matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

It's a loss for Aaron Rodgers, who will be missing one of the Steelers' best receivers and certainly their best speedster while playing against one of the top defenses in the NFL.
