Justin Fields to Start for Steelers as Russell Wilson Nears Return

Pittsburgh Steelers maintain Justin Fields as starting quarterback while Russell Wilson increases practice participation following calf injury.

Justin Fields will start his fifth consecutive game for the Steelers against the Dallas Cowboys, as Russell Wilson continues his recovery from a calf injury.
Fields has led the Steelers to a 3-1 record, showcasing strong performances, including a historic game against the Colts with over 300 passing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Head coach Mike Tomlin has praised Fields' steady demeanor and leadership, though he has not committed to Fields as the permanent starter for the season.
