Adams: Justin Fields Not Starting For Steelers Might Give Him ‘Best Shot At Maximizing’ His Potential

Russell Wilson will be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback for their Week 1 tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. Whether you believed there was a legitimate quarterback competition this summer or not, Wilson is officially the starter.

But have the Steelers closed the book on Fields in Pittsburgh? Head coach Mike Tomlin talked up getting Fields on the field versus the Falcons. The Steelers love the athletic ability of Fields. So is there hope for Fields having a future in Pittsburgh? The opportunity is certainly there since none of the quarterbacks are under contract for 2025.

“The Steelers are still searching for their quarterback of the future beyond the soon-to-be 36-year-old Russell Wilson,” Kay Adams said on Thursday’s episode of Up & Adams.
