While Mike Tomlin has been steadfast throughout the offseason that Russell Wilson is in “pole position” for the starting quarterback job, he still hasn’t committed to naming Wilson the starter over Justin Fields. Wilson started and played just one series, leading a touchdown drive in Pittsburgh’s preseason finale against the Detroit Lions, but Tomlin told reporters after the game that the decision of who will start Week 1 will come at the end of the week.
“We’ll make a decision at the end of our work week, this upcoming week. We have three days of Steelers vs. Steelers work, and why not do it then?
