Former Teammate Richard Sherman Doesn’t See How Steelers Could ‘Justify’ Starting Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson didn’t do anything wrong to lose his starting quarterback spot, but Justin Fields has the Pittsburgh Steelers undefeated through three weeks. Wilson’s calf injury is unfortunate, but it’s tough to argue against results with Fields. He’s been a key factor in their winning streak, and there isn’t a great reason to bench him. Former All-Pro NFL cornerback Richard Sherman certainly doesn’t believe the Steelers should make Wilson the starter once he is fully healthy.

“I think you gotta continue to go with Justin Fields and let him continue to develop,” Sherman said recently on his podcast.
