Despite Russell Wilson’s improving status, Justin Fields will remain the starter at quarterback for now.
Russell Wilson, named the Steelers starting quarterback coming out of training camp, will continue to ramp things up as he continues to try to return from a calf issue that has sidelined him for the team’s first four games.
But in the meantime, the Steelers will prepare for their next opponent, the Dallas Cowboys, with the understanding that it will be Justin Fields at quarterback for the fifth consecutive game.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday at his weekly press conference at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex that Wilson was taking part in a strenuous workout today, and that could lead to the 13-year veteran taking more of an active part in practices this week.
