The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to start quarterback Justin Fields in their Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday according to NFL Network’s Adam Rank.
Russell Wilson is battling a calf injury, the same injury that kept him out at the start of training camp. Wilson played in the Steelers’ final two preseason games against the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions before being officially named the team’s starter Week 1 before he became limited in practice with tightness in the calf. The Steelers also voted Wilson as one of their captains this season.
