Russell Wilson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice. After signing Wilson this offseason, all indications were that he would be Pittsburgh's Week 1 starter, despite the team's decision to trade for Justin Fields. However, Wilson has been sidelined to start the season with a calf injury and has yet to make his Steelers debut. The Steelers have already announced that Fields will start in the Week 3 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Still, they remain committed to evaluating the quarterback situation on a week-to-week basis. Fields remains a fringe fantasy starter, even with Wilson seemingly nearing a return.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) is officially inactive for Week 2, as expected. He has been designated as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback, which means he could enter the game if both Justin Fields and Kyle Allen suffer injuries and can't return. Fields is on track to make his second consecutive start, and if Pittsburgh starts 2-0, they could continue to ride the hot hand regardless of whether Wilson is healthy in Week 3.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he will list quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) as questionable for the Week 2 game in Denver against the Broncos. Wilson has been practicing on a limited basis this week, but all signs are pointing to him missing a second straight game to begin his tenure in Pittsburgh after aggravating a calf injury that he dealt with in training camp this summer. Tomlin admitted earlier this week that the team was preparing Justin Fields to start against the Broncos. However, there is a belief that the 35-year-old Wilson will be given the starting job back once he's fully cleared to play in games again, which could come as soon as Week 3 at home against the Los Angeles Chargers. We'll know for sure on Sunday morning, but all signs point to Fields starting. The former Chicago Bears QB profiles as a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers.
