Steelers WR George Pickens reveals Russell Wilson to start vs. Jets

Mike Tomlin still hasn't revealed a decision, but it appears the Pittsburgh Steelers are ready to give Russell Wilson his first start at quarterback Sunday night against the New York Jets. Wide receiver George Pickens spoke with reporters Friday afternoon and was asked how he was doing working with Wilson, who missed the first part of the season with a calf injury. "(We're) getting on the same page after practice throwing -- more than usual because, you know, this is his first start," Pickens said Friday. Tomlin, the Steelers' longtime coach, has kept his quarterback plans close to the vest after Justin Fields led Pittsburgh to a 4-2 start.
