yardbarker.com

The Pittsburgh Steelers have replaced Justin Fields with Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback for Week 7 against the New York Jets. Fields had led the team to a 4-2 record before the change. Steelers quarterbacks coach Tom Arth dismissed claims that Fields was restricted in his play, stating he had the same freedom at the line of scrimmage as Wilson. Arth noted that the offensive game plans for both quarterbacks are similar. Wilson has helped the Steelers achieve season highs in offensive yards in his first two games. There are indications that Fields may still play this season if needed, as the team prepares for potential injuries or performance issues with Wilson.
