Steelers Face Quarterback Dilemma as Russell Wilson Returns
Russell Wilson's return from injury prompts a decision for the Steelers on whether to reinstate him as starting quarterback over Justin Fields.
- Russell Wilson has been cleared to play after recovering from a calf injury, raising questions about his role for the Steelers' upcoming game against the Raiders.
- Wilson, historically a starter, has been sidelined for the first five games of the season and may return as a backup to Justin Fields.
- The Steelers have experienced offensive struggles under Fields, contributing to back-to-back losses after a strong start to the season.
- Coach Mike Tomlin has not yet committed to a starting quarterback, emphasizing the need for Wilson to demonstrate full readiness in practice.
- Despite challenges, Wilson's experience and past success, including 39 career game-winning drives, make him a strong contender for the starting position once fully healthy.
