In the days leading up to the Week 2 matchup on the road against the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin left the light on for veteran quarterback Russell Wilson to try and get back on the field for the potential revenge game.
So much so, in fact, that according to NFL on FOX insider Jay Glazer, Tomlin wanted to start Wilson to give him that opportunity to get back at the Broncos.
Unfortunately, Wilson’s calf injury didn’t heal in time, leading to the Steelers rolling with Justin Fields as the starting quarterback in a 13-6 win on the road in Week 2.
