The NFL is a harsh league, and Russell Wilson is getting a dose of that right now as his Week 1 status is up in the air with a calf injury. He hasn’t been officially ruled out yet, but that hasn’t stopped members of the national media from coming out of the woodwork to state their support for his backup, Justin Fields.
Jason La Canfora posted some thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation via the Washington Post this afternoon, and included some thoughts from anonymous scouts around the league.
“Based on what trusted evaluators who watched Wilson closely have told me, I would project Fields to see an awful lot of the field this season,” La Canfora wrote via The Washington Post.
