Steelers Plan To Start Justin Fields Over Injured Russell Wilson

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields (2) is stopped by Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Kentavius Street (75) during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Sept. 8, 2024, in Atlanta.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing to start Justin Fields at quarterback in Week 2 as Russell Wilson deals with a calf injury. Coach Mike Tomlin stated that the team is getting ready for their upcoming game in Denver with Fields as the likely starter. Wilson's status remains uncertain after missing the season opener against Atlanta due to his calf issue.

Fields had a solid performance against the Falcons, completing 17 of 23 passes for 156 yards and adding 57 rushing yards without any turnovers. The Steelers heavily relied on their defense and kicker Chris Boswell in the victory.
