Steelers coach Mike Tomlin announced that Russell Wilson is considered the starting quarterback for Pittsburgh, with Justin Fields set to compete for the position. Tomlin emphasized Wilson's experience and skills, giving him the edge in the competition. Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback, was signed by the Steelers after being released by Denver.
The Steelers made significant changes to their quarterback room, trading Kenny Pickett to Philadelphia and acquiring Fields from Chicago. Mason Rudolph and Mitch Trubisky departed in free agency. Wilson, who led Seattle to a Super Bowl title, brings a wealth of experience to the team.
