Two games into the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to see Russell Wilson. He has only dressed as an emergency quarterback for those contests, officially listed as inactive. Increasingly, many are pushing for Justin Fields to retain the starting job. Even if he does, however, he will still have Wilson lurking behind him.
And eventually in front of him, Chris Hoke believes. “We’re going to need him at some point this season”, he said on KDKA Nightly Sports Call, though not necessarily immediately. “If [Fields] is winning and he’s not turning the ball over, Coach Tomlin’s going to keep going with him”.
