He\u2019s\u00a0expected to be the No. 2 quarterback\u00a0behind Justin Fields on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n<p>With Wilson healthy, a decision for Mike Tomlin to name a starting quarterback is looming. Probably as early as next week. Fields\u2019 performance against the Raiders could decide his fate as the starter. Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton thinks a decision secretly has already been made and it does not include Wilson being QB1. That\u2019s why he thinks the Steelers should trade the nine-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, use Russell Wilson as trade value,\u201d Newton said on ESPN\u2019s First Take on Friday. \u201cThe fact that Miami Dolphins haven\u2019t reached out to Pittsburgh is beyond me, especially with the specific situation at this particular point in time. I know we\u2019ve seen enough in Pittsburgh to really crown Justin Fields, and they\u2019ve said it without really saying it. The whole morale of the team, guys are fighting for him. They\u2019re playing for him. And I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s probably too deep for Russell Wilson at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson has a\u00a0no-trade clause in his contract, so he would have to sign off on a deal first. The Miami Dolphins have been heavily linked to Wilson since they don\u2019t have a reliable quarterback now with Tua Tagovailoa out indefinitely after suffering a fourth concussion in two years.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Russell Wilson &amp; Justin Fields BATTLE over STARTING QB job \ud83d\udc40 Will Wilson get cut? | Get Up\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/apH15K-3SeQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Fields has played better in Pittsburgh, completing 67.6% of his passes, compared to his previous career high of 61.4%.

Pittsburgh also currently ranks 23rd in yards per game, 27th in passing yards per game and 26th in scoring.

Tomlin thinks Wilson has to knock off some of the rust after missing five games. Wilson has been dealing with a lingering calf injury since the start of training camp. He re-injured his calf at the Thursday practice prior to the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought he had a good week,\u201d Tomlin said of Wilson. \u201cHe\u2019s proven his health, now it\u2019s just a matter of knocking the rust off. He\u2019s probably going to be active as the No. 2 quarterback. I like what I\u2019ve seen out here. Health and rust are two different things. I thought he had a good week displaying his heath, his ability to protect himself. Now it\u2019s just a process of getting re-acclimated to the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson\u2019s mobility could be the one thing that\u2019s holding him back. He looked pretty agile at practice on Thursday, but doing it in a game is a whole different story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the biggest thing, just to be honest with you guys, is being able to run well,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was able to do a lot more this week. I was excited to get back out there and be a full participant. All the reps and everything else. That was great. It just got better from the first day to today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time this year, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) does not have an injury designation.
