Steelers tab Russell Wilson as starting QB to open 2024 season
Russell Wilson has won the Steelers' quarterback battle. The veteran was announced as the starter to begin the season over Justin Fields.AUGUST 28
Beginning season as backup Fields will begin the regular season as the backup to Russell Wilson, who was named the Week 1 starter Wednesday, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Fields began the offseason clearly behind Wilson on Pittsburgh's depth chart, and though he managed to pressure the veteran during training camp and the preseason, the 25-year-old signal-caller will ultimately have to wait in the wings for an opportunity as the season progresses. Throughout the preseason Fields' performance was largely a mixed bag, as turnovers and unfortunate sacks reminiscent of his time in Chicago detracted from otherwise impressive athleticism and accuracy in the middle and short areas of the field. Fields will likely need Wilson to struggle or miss time in order to gain a starting opportunity of his own this season, but such an outcome does materialize, he'll immediately enter the mix as a high-upside fantasy option.

Likely backup for Week 1 Fields completed three of his four passes for 40 yards in Saturday's 24-17 preseason loss to the Lions. He added two rushes for four yards.
Impact Fields took over the offense after one drive in relief of Russell Wilson. As has been the case for much of preseason and training camp, his performance was a mixed bag. He looked accurate in the middle and short areas of the field and led a scoring drive, but he also took two sacks and had a missed exchange on a snap. Coach Mike Tomlin declined to name a starting quarterback after the game, but usage in the last two weeks suggests that Fields will begin the season as the backup to Wilson.
