\"Pittsburgh<\/p>\n

The quarterback situation for the Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0drastically changed on Wednesday. Justin Fields has been the team\u2019s starting quarterback through the first five games of the season as Russell Wilson\u00a0battles a calf injury\u00a0he suffered before training camp this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fields led the Steelers to a 3-0 start. However, Pittsburgh has lost two straight contests. Questions surfaced about whether Fields would retain the starting job after the Steelers\u00a0scored just 17 points\u00a0in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys at home on Sunday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Justin Fields has been OK, but not great<\/h2>\n

Fields is 92-of-236 for 961 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception this season. He\u2019s added 172 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Fields numbers have been enough to keep Pittsburgh in the hunt to win the AFC North, but the offense could use a little more juice than the game-management style of play the former Chicago Bears quarterback provides.<\/p>\n

Things could be getting heated up this week before the Steelers\u00a0play\u00a0the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The Raiders also have questions at quarterback this season and\u00a0announced on Wednesday\u00a0they plan to roll with second-year quarterback Aidan O\u2019Connell against the Steelers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The situation in Pittsburgh appears to be fluid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russell Wilson returns to Pittsburgh Steelers\u2019 practice<\/h2>\n

Per the Steelers\u2019 website, Wilson\u00a0was a full participant\u00a0at practice on Wednesday, the first time he\u2019s been a full participant since the regular season started. Head coach Mike Tomlin said this week that Pittsburgh\u2019s situation is \u201cdifferent\u201d this week, but wanted to wait to see how the veteran quarterback does in practice before deciding to move on from Fields.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFirst, we\u2019ll see if (Wilson is) able to obviously pull it off and get through the session,\u201d Tomlin said. \u201cAnd if he does, what does the quality of that work look like. His ability to protect himself, etc., are some of the conversations that we\u2019ve been having, but just in a hypothetical way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson worked with the second team on Wednesday. Tomlin wanted Fields to work with the first team while the team evaluated how mobile Wilson was at practice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If Wilson shows he\u2019s the better quarterback in practice, the Steelers could make a quarterback switch soon.<\/p>\n
