The former Seattle Seahawks quarterback will begin his Steelers career against the Atlanta Falcons.
For the first time since that monumental trade, the Seattle Seahawks will not have any draft picks tied to the performance of Russell Wilson’s current team. That could change if the Pittsburgh Steelers do any in-season trades with Seattle, but for now there’s nothing at stake. After a quarterback competition between Wilson and former Chicago Bears starter Justin Fields, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has unsurprisingly declared Wilson as the Week 1 starter.
He did lead a touchdown drive against the Detroit Lions’ backups in the preseason finale, converting a 3rd down deep pass to George Pickens. Wilson’s first Steelers start will be on the road against the Atlanta Falcons, which will serve as a revenge game of sorts for his new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who was fired by the Falcons after three seasons as head coach.
