The Pittsburgh Steelers kept Russell Wilson off the field for the first four training camp practices, letting Justin Fields lead. Wilson suffered a calf injury during the team’s conditioning test, and they have exercised considerable caution with him.
The result is the Steelers have gotten quite a considerable look at Justin Fields already, but to what end? Most argue that there is no quarterback competition, but Mike Garafolo believes otherwise. The veteran NFL Network reporters was in Latrobe yesterday, and that was his takeaway.
“The longer I talk to people about this one, the more I’m thinking that this one is more open than we’re giving it credit”, he said on the NFL Network of the Steelers’ quarterback competition between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
