Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) back at practice

Pro Football Talk

Jul 30 · 4:59 PM EDT

Quarterback Russell Wilson injured a calf during the team’s conditioning test. On Tuesday, he finally participated in training-camp practice. It was also the first training-camp practice of 2024 in pads.

Via 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, Wilson took a few snaps in 7-on-7 and executed a handoff in 11-on-11 drills.

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously it wasn't a high workload, but Wilson says he feels good and is getting better every day. The story said the team doesn't seem to be rushing Wilson back into a full workload as HC Mike Tomlin said he's "slowing down the progress" and playing it day-to-day. Wilson remains a low-end QB2 heading into drafts.

Steelers QB Russell Wilson day-to-day with calf issue

Ian Rapoport

Jul 25 · 12:35 PM EDT

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that QB Russell Wilson is dealing with a calf issue that he woke up with and he’s considered day-to-day. Justin Fields took the first-team reps.

Fantasy Impact:

A murky situation continues to get murky, and it's unlikely to clear up any time soon. Wilson was reportedly the shoo-in as the lead guy through times this summer, but if Fields ends up shining with his opportunities, we can imagine that sentiment flipping. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but neither QB is an obvious click in fantasy as it currently stands.

Steelers Beat: There is No Chance Russell Wilson Isn't Week 1 QB

May 22 · 11:10 AM EDT

Standing before a horde of media Tuesday for the first time since being acquired during an offseason trade, Justin Fields essentially said he sees an open competition with Russell Wilson for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback job.

The reality of the situation is that — barring injury — there is no chance that Fields will be the starting quarterback over Wilson for the season opener Sept. 8 in Atlanta.

Fantasy Impact:

The beat reporter's assurance should boost Wilson up the rankings a little bit, but let's not get ahead of our skis. The veteran looked terrible during his two seasons in Denver and could still cede time to Fields. Neither is worth more than a speculative add in deep SuperFlex leagues.

Russell Wilson in "pole position" as Steelers starting QB

Ian Rapoport

Mar 25 · 8:29 AM EDT

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin reiterated that Russell Wilson “has pole position” to be the starting QB. Not against competition. And “when it’s time to compete, Justin will be given an opportunity to show his capabilities.”

He said Justin Fields “oozes talent.”

Fantasy Impact:

Wilson deserves to have competition after his showing in Denver, but in the early stages, it looks as if it's his job to lose. He should be considered off the radar in typical 1QB leagues, but if anything were to happen that granted Fields the job, the latter would be right back in QB1 conversations.
