Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin knows his starting quarterback for Sunday night’s matchup against the New York Jets but isn’t letting the cat out of the bag quite yet.
“I am [ready to name a starter], but I’m just gonna, you know, keep that in-house,” Tomlin said Friday. “I thought (Russell Wilson) has sharp. I thought Justin (Fields) was sharp as well. I thought we had a highly productive week from both guys and from the unit as a whole.”
After sitting out the first six weeks of the season, Wilson took first-team reps this week during practice and spoke on Thursday like a QB who expects to play on Sunday. Fields helped the Steelers to a 4-2 record, but the offense was admittedly up and down, particularly in the passing attack.
Given Fields’ dynamic running ability, the Steelers could use both signal-callers to give the defense a change-up. Tomlin said it’s “certainly” possible that each quarterback could play Sunday versus Gang Green.
While Tomlin remained mum, receiver George Pickens could have revealed the team’s plans — or at least offered his own expectation — telling reporters he’s been putting in extra work with Wilson after practices “because this is his first start.”
