After a tough 2022 season following a blockbuster trade to the Denver Broncos, then a trying 2023 season in which head coach Sean Payton didn’t exactly want him as the quarterback, veteran Russell Wilson signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency, giving him a soft landing spot in an effort to revitalize his career.
But now, through the first four practices of training camp, Wilson can’t even get on the field due to a calf injury suffered in the conditioning test upon reporting to training camp when he was pushing a sled.
In his absence, Justin Fields has taken advantage of the reps in training camp and is generating some buzz, which has led to some questions and debates about who should truly be the starting quarterback for the Steelers.
