Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin isn’t making any pronouncements about the long-term starter at quarterback, but he also isn’t doing anything to suggest it won’t be Justin Fields.

“As we walk in the building tomorrow, I want Fields singularly focused on starting for us,” Tomlin said.

Fields moved into the starting role when Wilson hurt his calf ahead of the season opener and he’s presided over three straight wins for the Steelers, the story said. On Tuesday, Tomlin said Wilson is set for another limited practice on Wednesday. The story pointed out Tomlin has repeatedly said that the team could consider other options when Wilson’s participation level changes. It seems as long as Fields is the starter and they keep winning, there isn't much need to make a change.

It looks like Justin Fields will be at quarterback for the Steelers again this week.

Fields has started both games for the 2-0 team and head coach Mike Tomlin said in a Tuesday press conference that the team is preparing to start him against the Chargers this Sunday as well.

Wilson was set to start before a calf injury and Tomlin said that Wilson is not going to fully participate when the team resumes its practice schedule on Wednesday. Tomlin added that the team won’t give any consideration to changing quarterbacks until that changes and Wilson is able to do quality work with the team.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin tells reporters that the team is listing Russell Wilson (calf) as questionable for Sunday, but added: "If his availability is questionable, then starting is less so.”

Sounds like another week of Justin Fields starting against the Broncos.

Fields is definitely an interesting streaming choice for anyone worried about their quarterback's matchup. The ceiling is not great, but his rushing ability plants him firmly in the top-15, even in a tough matchup.

Denver isn't the best matchup for quarterbacks, but we know what Fields can do with his legs when given the opportunity, so he is a fringe QB1 on the week for those in need.

Right now, Mike Tomlin says they are preparing Justin Fields to start vs the Broncos.

The post went on to say the team will continue to evaluate Wilson's progress with his calf injury. It's still only Tuesday, so Wilson has a chance to get better as the week goes on, and we'll likely know if that's happening based on practice reports. In a different post from beat reporter Brooke Pryor, she pointed out there is no change in the Steelers depth chart at QB, and Wilson remains the QB1. If Wilson is good enough to go, it looks like he would get the start.

The Steelers officially list QB Russell Wilson (calf) as questionable for Sunday. Justin Fields took the first-team reps today.

While Wilson should remain on fantasy benches regardless of his status, keep an eye out for Fields, who offers a much better floor/ceiling combination because of his legs. He would be a top-15 option if he gets the nod.

Steelers have made their decision and Russell Wilson will be the starter for Week 1.

And the crowd goes mild. Wilson should only be considered in deep Superflex/2QB leagues, and there's no telling if he'll keep the job throughout the entirety of the season.

This is a big week for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterbacks. It’ll be the first week that Russell Wilson can go in practice without restrictions. As such, it’ll give the Pittsburgh coaches their first real side-by-side look at Wilson and Justin Fields. And while the Steelers have maintained that Wilson’s in pole position, Fields has had a lot more reps this summer in new coordinator Arthur Smith’s offense than Wilson has.

Breer went on to say the offense as a whole has struggled, with some moving parts on the line and depth issues at receiver. Breer added the coaches are playing the starters more in preseason games as a result, to try to give the players a shot to work through their growing pains now, rather than doing it in September. But it hasn’t helped make the quarterback picture any less murky to this point, the story went on to say.

There is optimism at Steelers camp that quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) could return to practice this week.

"The plan, to my understanding, is he's going to see the doctor again this coming week," Pelissero said (H/T Sports Illustrated). "There's optimism that he's going to be fine, be able to get back out there and take back some of those reps that he's been giving up to [Justin Fields]."

Wilson is expected to step right back into the QB1 role when he does return to practice, but his absence has allowed Justin Fields to get plenty of reps with the first team and try to close the gap in the competition. Wilson is a low-end QB2 in our current rankings.

Quarterback Russell Wilson injured a calf during the team’s conditioning test. On Tuesday, he finally participated in training-camp practice. It was also the first training-camp practice of 2024 in pads.

Via 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, Wilson took a few snaps in 7-on-7 and executed a handoff in 11-on-11 drills.

Obviously it wasn't a high workload, but Wilson says he feels good and is getting better every day. The story said the team doesn't seem to be rushing Wilson back into a full workload as HC Mike Tomlin said he's "slowing down the progress" and playing it day-to-day. Wilson remains a low-end QB2 heading into drafts.
