The Pittsburgh Steelers named Russell Wilson their Week 1 starter before the season began. Then, Wilson had a setback with a lingering calf injury, and he had to sit out the first six weeks of the season. In his absence, Justin Fields quarterbacked the team, and he did well.
With Wilson getting healthy recently, things got a bit more complicated. Wilson practiced in the week leading up to the Steelers Week 6 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. Yet, Fields still got the start. Fields ended up having a decent performance, and led the Steelers to a win.
