As Russell Wilson inches closer to his full return from injury, Justin Fields continues to take advantage of the extra first-team reps at practice. Wilson was given pole position and received the vast majority of the starting reps throughout the spring. There was no reason to believe that would change. Even Fields didn’t expect starting reps early on in camp, confirming what we already knew in an interview after Sunday’s practice.
“I’m just trying to take advantage of each and every rep that I get. I know that if he wasn’t hurt, then I wouldn’t be in this position,” Fields said of receiving more reps in Wilson’s absence in a video posted by YardBarker’s Aaron Becker on X.
