Steelers QB Likely Wilson for Week 1 Start

The Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to officially name their Week 1 starting quarterback, but all signs point to Russell Wilson getting the nod over Justin Fields. Wilson only played one series in the preseason finale against the Detroit Lions, leading the team on a touchdown drive, while Fields also had a notable performance but played more snaps. Head Coach Mike Tomlin stated a decision will be made after the upcoming week of practice, emphasizing the importance of internal evaluations. The Steelers face the Atlanta Falcons on September 8 to kick off their regular season. Tomlin's strategic approach to the preseason has allowed both quarterbacks to showcase their abilities, but Wilson's experience and performance appear to have given him the edge.
