The quarterback battle for the Pittsburgh Steelers has been much more intriguing than anticipated, with Russell Wilson forced to miss much of the first two weeks of practice with a calf injury. Justin Fields had an up-and-down first week of training camp but has turned things around by stacking good performances. His athleticism and arm talent were known commodities entering camp, but his timing and accuracy on intermediate routes have been a question mark for him over the first three years of his career.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo gave a high-level overview of Pittsburgh’s quarterback situation after the first 14 practices of camp via the North Shore Drive podcast, which is posted on Post-Gazette Sports’ YouTube channel.
