Steelers Stick with Justin Fields Amid Wilson's Injury Concerns

As the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare for their Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, head coach Mike Tomlin has confirmed that Justin Fields will be the starting quarterback, following Russell Wilson's ongoing recovery from a calf injury. The decision has sparked a debate among fans and former players, with Pittsburgh legend Ben Roethlisberger expressing that he would continue to back Fields even if Wilson were healthy. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos face challenges with Wilson's absence this week, creating a narrative of missed opportunities for both teams. The Steelers are reportedly 'readying' Fields for the start, making it clear that Wilson's future within the team remains uncertain as he rehabs his injury.
