The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially named Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. This decision comes after a competitive battle with Justin Fields, who had been receiving significant first-team snaps during the preseason. Wilson, who has been practicing without limitations following a calf injury, will have the chance to solidify his position as the starter but must perform well to maintain it.
- Russell Wilson has been named the starting QB for the Steelers in Week 1.
- Wilson's health is no longer a concern, as he has practiced fully for three weeks.
- Justin Fields remains a threat to Wilson's starting position if he underperforms.
