NFL Rumors: Jets 'Preparing for Russell Wilson to Start' over Steelers' Justin Fields

Although the Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to make an official announcement, the New York Jets are reportedly of the belief that Russell Wilson will be Pittsburgh's starting quarterback on Sunday night.

According to ESPN, the Jets are preparing for Wilson to start, but they have also prepared for the Steelers continuing to utilize their other quarterback in Justin Fields, perhaps as part of a third-down or red-zone package.

If Wilson does start, it will be his first start of the season, as he did not see any game action during the Steelers' first six contests due to a calf injury suffered during training camp.
