The quarterback competition talk has been raging on since March when the Pittsburgh Steelers added both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields during the first week of the new league year. Especially once Wilson was forced to miss most of camp with a calf injury, many thought Fields had a legitimate chance to pass him despite the pole position given.

Those talks quieted ever so slightly once head coach Mike Tomlin announced Wilson as the Week 1 starter. Yet here we are barely over a week later and Wilson was limited at practice by the same calf that he injured in July.
