The Pittsburgh Steelers are keeping Russell Wilson sidelined.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading into their preseason opener against the Houston Texans with Justin Fields as their starting quarterback. Head coach Mike Tomlin announced that after missing a majority of training camp with a calf injury, Russell Wilson will not dress for their game, making Fields thier QB1.
Behind Fields will be Kyle Allen and John Rhys Plumlee. While Plumlee does have a shot to make the roster, it's expected that Allen will be the QB3 for the Steelers this season. Therefore, judging by years past, Fields will likely get a bulk of the playing time in the opener, with Allen and Rhys splitting the second half.
