Will Mike Tomlin name Justin Fields or Russell Wilson the Steelers’ starter today?
It’s Tomlin Tuesday today, and you know what that means—evasive answers. For the first six weeks of the season, Mike Tomlin has successfully avoided committing to either Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. Technically, he did name Wilson the starter, but injury allowed him to hem and haw for a month and change.
Now we’re here, and we still don’t know who the Steelers’ starting quarterback is. At least, we have no idea beyond a week-by-week basis, which doesn’t aid in stability. Russell Wilson only returned to full practice last week, but Mike Tomlin had the excuse of not naming Justin Fields “the starter” because Wilson was only running with the second team.
