Rapoport: Pending Final Examination For Russell Wilson, Justin Fields ‘More Likely’ To Start Against Falcons

Passing along a small update this morning. It still isn’t the big announcement of Russell Wilson playing (or not) that we have all been waiting for, but another indication that Justin Fields is on track to start.

Ian Rapoport offered the latest via X.

“The Steelers are expected to examine QB Russell Wilson this morning to check out his calf, but as it stands now, it’s more likely Justin Fields starts vs the Falcons than Wilson,” Rapoport wrote, with the assist from his fellow NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo.

The #Steelers are expected to examine QB Russell Wilson this morning to check out his calf, but as it stands now, it’s more likely Justin Fields starts vs the #Falcons than Wilson, per me and @MikeGarafolo.
