Russell Wilson seems to reveal Steelers' QB plan for Week 7

"It's the first game of the year for me. But I've been fortunate to be in a lot of first games. So the confidence is there obviously," Wilson said.

Wilson was active for last week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, so technically that was his first game back from his calf injury. Since he is viewing this Sunday’s game as his first, that is a good indicator that he has been told he will be Pittsburgh’s starting quarterback.

The Steelers have gone 4-2 with Justin Fields as their starting quarterback. Fields has completed 66.3% of his passes for 1,106 yards, five touchdowns and just one interception. He has 231 rushing yards and another five scores on the ground.

It is somewhat of a surprise that Tomlin is making a quarterback change given the success the Steelers have had. Fields offered a very honest take when discussing the situation on Thursday.

Wilson beat out Fields for the starting QB job during the summer before the 35-year-old suffered a setback with his calf injury. Tomlin never named Fields the full-time starter while Wilson was sidelined, and it appears Wilson is now going to get his opportunity.
