Russell Wilson entered training camp in the pole position for the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback job, but a calf injury suffered while pushing a sled in the conditioning test the night before the first day of practice has created a great opportunity for Justin Fields.
So far, through the first three days of training camp, Wilson has been on the shelf, and Fields has been QB1 for the Steelers under head coach Mike Tomlin and new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.
Though he’s had some struggles, Fields has flashed quite a bit and is generating quite a bit of buzz.
