With Russell Wilson healthy and ready to make his Pittsburgh Steelers debut tonight against the Buffalo Bills, Mike Tomlin is adding kindling to the team’s quarterback battle. Speaking with Steelers.com’s Bob Labriola, Tomlin threw a spark on the competition between Wilson and Justin Fields.
“It’s been a great process,” Tomlin told Labriola in his weekly gameday interview. “Now that Russ has full health, it’s going to heat up over the next couple of weeks, and I’m excited about watching it happen.”
Mike Tomlin noted that the state of the race hasn’t changed much, declaring Wilson in “pole position,” the same framing he’s used throughout the spring and summer.
