With Russell Wilson sitting out or being limited early in training camp, it’s been Justin Fields taking snaps with the starters, at least for now.
You’d like to get Wilson in there as soon as possible, as he is your likely week one starter. It’s always good to get a new quarterback as many reps as possible with the starting unit before the season starts.
However, there are some advantages to Justin Fields being the guy early in camp. One big one is that the defense gets to practice against a type of quarterback that is becoming more and more common in the league.
