Russell Wilson of the Steelers may ride the bench during his comeback game in Denver

The Pittsburgh Steelers are making preparations for Justin Fields to start as quarterback in their upcoming game against the Denver Broncos, leaving former Bronco Russell Wilson on the bench. Wilson, who signed with Pittsburgh after being released by the Broncos, was unable to play in the season opener due to a calf injury and is listed as questionable for Week 2. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is analyzing Wilson’s participation in practice and currently preparing for Fields to start. Fields stepped in for Wilson in Week 1 and had a solid performance, leading the team to victory. Wilson, despite being inactive, was seen in full pads on the sidelines during the game. The Steelers are paying Wilson significantly less than the money owed to him by the Broncos after his release. Denver faced financial challenges due to the dead cap money associated with releasing Wilson two years into his massive contract. The situation with Wilson and Fields will be one to watch as the Steelers prepare to face off against the Broncos in a highly anticipated game.
