After remarkable health along the offensive line over the last two seasons, the Pittsburgh Steelers have found themselves in a bit of a predicament in 2024. Including whatever configuration of starters they use in Week 5, they will have started a different combination of linemen every week of the season. With Russell Wilson nearing his return from injury, could that play a role in the decision to continue rolling with Justin Fields?

“Yeah, it’s something to pay attention to because that’s Russ’ strength, the ability to get out of pressure and get out of the pocket. And when he [returns], if he’s not able to do that, then what does he look like from that perspective,” Charlie Batch said via DVE’s Morning Show with Randy Baumann.
