Despite everybody wanting to know the plan for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation once Russell Wilson is fully healthy, Mike Tomlin has maintained a neutral stance. He hasn’t committed to Fields, but he also hasn’t stated that Wilson will be given his QB1 job back to him. Just a couple weeks ago, he was asked why he doesn’t commit either way, and he explained it’s because there is no need to right now. With Wilson unavailable to the team, Tomlin has been able to proceed with Fields without having to make the difficult decision.
Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett went through a similar scenario back in 2016 with Tony Romo aging out of the league and third-round rookie Dak Prescott coming onto the scene.
