Despite leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a promising 4-2 start, it sounds like quarterback Justin Fields may be shown the bench in favor of a returning Russell Wilson.
Before the regular season, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin named Wilson the starting quarterback over Justin Fields. But a calf injury sidelined the 35-year-old quarterback for Pittsburgh’s first six games, prompting Tomlin to put the 2021 first-round pick behind center.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Tuesday that Wilson is getting the first-team reps in practice ahead of Week 7 against the New York Jets, a clear-cut indicator that he’ll star over Fields.
Following the news that Wilson may replace him behind center, Justin Fields posted a heartwarming and inspirational quote on his Instagram story that reads, “Your “normal” day is someone else’s dream, so be thankful everyday.”
Fields’ stats over Pittsburgh’s first six games aren’t eye-popping, but teams rarely bench a quarterback when they’re winning. The 25-year-old has completed 66.3 percent of his pass attempts for 1,106 yards, five touchdowns and only one interception to go along with 231 rushing yards and five rushing scores.

Needless to say, it’s a good problem for Tomlin and the Steelers to have. There are two quality starting quarterbacks on this roster. If Wilson takes over the starting duties and plays well enough to keep Fields on the bench, the Steelers won’t complain.
Justin Fields Has Proven He’s A Starting QB In This League
Fields flashed as a rushing quarterback with the Chicago Bears, but he never showed consistency as a passer. But he joined a good situation in Pittsburgh and showed that he’s a winner and stating-caliber QB with the right team.
Chicago never put Fields in a good position to succeed like Pittsburgh has this season. Even if Wilson plays every snap from here on out, Fields showed the Steelers and 30 other teams that he has the potential to be a long-term solution at the game’s most important position.

Snoop Dogg has some explaining to do.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the NFL’s most iconic franchises, with a second-to-none fan base.
Thousands of Steelers fans, including rapper Snoop Dogg, packed Acrisure Stadium Sunday night to watch Pittsburgh take on the Dallas Cowboys.
While he was born in Long Beach, California, Snoop is a die-hard fan of the Steelers.
So when the Steelers took on the Dallas Cowboys in “Sunday Night Football” at Acrisure Stadium, he was there.
The team even posted a video of him wearing a custom Steelers letterman jacket, twirling his Terrible Towel, and waving around a helmet to pump up the crowd.

So, why is a man from the West Coast a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers?
While talking to Peyton and Eli Manning on their podcast, Snoop Dogg explained that he fell in love with the team as a kid in the 1970s.
“I fell in love with their great defense, the way they move the ball, just the way they play football in general, it was fun to watch as a kid. As I became an adult, I fell more in love with them because I got the chance to meet the players, I got to meet Coach Cowher and Ben Roethlisberger and Jerome Bettis and the rest of the guys, and you know, I became a part of Steelers nation.”
Snoop Dogg Gets Exposed As A Fake Fan On Social Media
The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the NFL’s most iconic franchises, and Big Snoop is a fan.
Unfortunately for the legendary rapper, he is being exposed online as a liar for being a fan of them since the 70s.
Someone on X pulled up an old picture of Snoop, clearly from the 1990s, showing him rocking a Deion Sanders jersey from his time with the Dallas Cowboys.
No Steelers fan would ever rock a Cowboys jersey for any reason.
It wasn’t just a one-off, as Snoop could also be seen rocking a Michael Irvin jersey.
Somebody has some explaining to do.
