Steelers Evaluate Quarterback Situation Ahead of Jets Matchup
The Pittsburgh Steelers are considering a significant shift in their quarterback strategy as they prepare for their upcoming game against the New York Jets. Head coach Mike Tomlin has indicated that Russell Wilson is in serious consideration to start, particularly given his strong performance in practice and the need for improvement in the passing game. Meanwhile, Justin Fields faces the possibility of being benched despite a decent record. Reports suggest that Wilson has impressed coaches, and the team is planning to give him first-team reps in practice. This comes amid speculation that the Steelers may adopt a two-quarterback system. With the team holding a 4-2 record, the decision to potentially start Wilson marks an intriguing development as they aim to execute their playoff-winning plan.
