It looks like the Steelers are sticking with Justin Fields as their starting quarterback for the Week 2 game against the Denver Broncos. Coach Mike Tomlin’s decision reflects confidence in Fields, especially after his performance in Week 1.
Russell Wilson, who was expected to face his former team in a highly anticipated matchup, will be sidelined again due to his ongoing calf issue. This is a disappointment for fans eager to see a potential “revenge game” scenario.
Wilson’s absence from the lineup continues a rocky period in his career, following his trade from the Seattle Seahawks to the Broncos in 2022. Despite his high-profile move and significant contract, his tenure with the Broncos has been challenging, with the team failing to make the playoffs during his time there.
Fields, who has shown promise since joining the Steelers, will have the opportunity to lead Pittsburgh’s offense against Denver. His performance in this game could further solidify his position as the Steelers’ starting quarterback and potentially influence their decision-making for future games.
