The Pittsburgh Steelers are in no rush to remove Justin Fields from the starting lineup, even after declaring all offseason that veteran Russell Wilson had been in "pole position" for the top quarterback job. That's partially because they have no choice, according to ESPN, with Wilson apparently worsening his training-camp calf injury by playing in the preseason, to the point he's still "not moving" at regular speed.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has maintained since the start of the season that quarterback plans will be reevaluated once Wilson is healthy, implying the former Seattle Seahawks star is not in a physical condition to warrant consideration for the starting gig. His calf injury is "no joke," Jeremy Fowler reported Thursday, "and playing/practicing ... seemed to make it worse."

……………

Schefter etc keep talking about Russ being a potential trade target to the fins, but I don’t see that happening even if Tua doesn’t return. Russ’ injury is not like the “back pain” Jalen Ramsey claimed to have had that got instantly cured with a trade to the Rams.
