Shortly after Russell Wilson and Justin Fields were both added to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster, Adam Schefter reported that an unnamed league exec told him they could see Russell Wilson being released prior to the start of the season if he was outplayed by Justin Fields. That obviously didn’t happen, but we are now in a situation where Fields is 2-0 for the Steelers, with a chance to go 3-0 next week against the Los Angeles Chargers.
If the Steelers decide to ultimately ride the hot hand of Fields once Wilson is deemed fully healthy, what could that mean for the veteran QB?
