Florio: ‘Chance’ Russell Wilson Plays Sunday, Steelers View Justin Fields Better Long-Term Option

In just a 30-second soundbite during halftime of Friday night’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio provided plenty of information on how the Pittsburgh Steelers are thinking about their quarterback situation. Still uncertain who will start against the Atlanta Falcons, Florio says Justin Fields is the likely starter over Russell Wilson, though no determination may be made until pre-game warmups.

“He’s officially questionable,” Florio said. “Sounds like it’s closer to doubtful. Now, I’m told there’s a chance he’ll be able to play on Sunday, but the decision may go all the way up to game time.
