Rich Eisen has one of the more level-headed national media takes on the Russell Wilson-Justin Fields “battle” that’s so far only featured Fields. Wilson has been held out the first four days with a minor calf injury suffered during his conditioning test. Now, Wilson is set to fully return to the team this week, likely as soon as Tuesday’s first padded practice.
Highlights of Fields’ best throws from the first few days have restarted the conversation about controversy over whether Fields can take the job away. But Eisen thinks that’s still an unlikely scenario, though he discussed what’s working against Wilson and how Fields can eventually work his way into the lineup.
