PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers are considering quarterback Russell Wilson to potentially start in their upcoming game against the New York Jets. Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler, has been recovering from a calf injury he sustained just before the season opener. Coach Mike Tomlin mentioned that while current starter Justin Fields has performed well, the team is looking for greatness, which Wilson's experience and talent may provide.

Fields, who has been filling in for Wilson, has shown efficiency and occasional brilliance during his six-week tenure. However, his recent dip in accuracy has prompted the Steelers to explore the possibility of Wilson taking over. The team's passing game currently ranks 28th in the league, and they are tied for the lead in the AFC North division.
