Not only will veteran quarterback Russell Wilson start for the Pittsburgh Steelers under center in Week 7 against the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football, he’ll also get the Week 8 start for the Black and Gold against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football next week.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, that’s the case as Wilson is expected to be the starter in Week 8 as well, regardless of how he plays on Sunday night against the Jets.
“We’re gonna start in Pittsburgh, where Russell Wilson’s gonna start tonight at quarterback. It’s his first game since Christmas Eve against New England last season.
