Steelers maintain quarterback rotation as trade rumors swirl around Justin Fields

sportingnews.com October 28, 2024, 09:00 PM UTC

Summary: The Pittsburgh Steelers have used a quarterback rotation this season, with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson both contributing to a 5-2 record. Wilson is currently the starting quarterback after a strong performance against the Jets, while Fields is now in a backup role.

Fields had a solid start, leading the team to four wins but struggled with turnovers and sacks. Coach Mike Tomlin's decision to switch to Wilson was influenced by Fields' inconsistent play and the terms of his trade from the Bears.

Despite speculation about a potential trade for Fields, it seems unlikely at this time. Wilson's recent success and Fields' respect in the locker room suggest the Steelers may keep both quarterbacks for now. Fields has also been placed on the injury list with a hamstring issue.
