With two preseason games out of the way, Mike Tomlin maintains that Russell Wilson is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback. But after sitting out most of training camp with a calf injury and then a lackluster preseason debut against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday evening, it is fair to wonder if Justin Fields has gained ground in the competition.
Both quarterbacks are entering the final year of their deals. The Steelers have a crucial decision ahead of them. Whether that is extending Wilson— which there was reportedly mutual interest of doing after the season—or rolling with the 25-year-old Fields, their ultimate decision could help shape the next few seasons of Steelers football.
