NFL Insider: No One In Pittsburgh ‘Said Russell Wilson Went Out And Won The Starting Job’

When Russell Wilson signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, it seemed like he would be their starting quarterback for 2024. However, a calf injury has changed those plans, with Justin Fields looking like he’ll start for the second week in a row. According to insider James Palmer, it seems like Wilson’s job may not be as safe as it once seemed.

On his podcast 89 Underdog NFL’s YouTube channel, Palmer revealed that Wilson winning the initial quarterback battle might not have meant that much.

“When I talked to people in Pittsburgh about Russell Wilson winning the job, it was essentially two things,” Palmer said.
