Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers have received devastating news for the offense led by Aaron Rodgers. Broderick Jones, who had shown major improvement this year at left tackle, will reportedly be out for the rest of the season due to a neck injury.

The Steelers had already placed Jones on injured reserve, which meant keeping him out for at least four games, but a new report from Gerry Dulac confirms that the situation is worse. ā€œBroderick Jones has a neck injury that is more serious than originally thought and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season, per sources.ā€

The offensive line is a key factor for the Steelers considering that Rodgers is dealing with a serious left wrist injury. A hit could end the Super Bowl champion quarterback’s season because of the risk of a displaced fracture.
