Is the door ajar for Justin Fields to steal the starting job from Russell Wilson?

Justin Fields has led the Steelers through their first two training camp practices with Russell Wilson nursing a calf injury. He has yielded generally positive results thus far, but importantly, is also gaining experience with the starters. That is something he did not have during OTAs, and now he is running the show—for now.

While head coach Mike Tomlin will say every job is a competition, most believe that there isn’t one at quarterback this year for the Steelers. They signed Russell Wilson to start, and only traded for Justin Fields as something of an afterthought.
