Steelers QB Russell Wilson will reportedly get first-team reps, setting him up for his Week 7 debut against the Jets

The Pittsburgh Steelers are trending towards a change at quarterback. Veteran Russell Wilson, who signed with the Steelers in March, is finally healthy enough to begin first-team action and will reportedly do just that this week. That prepares him to make his Steelers debut this weekend when they take on the New York Jets.

Wilson, 35, had been battling a calf injury throughout training camp, but as the regular season approached, things appeared to be on the other side. He was named the starting quarterback over Justin Fields before Week 1, but aggravated that lurking calf injury just days before the Steelers' season opener against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Steelers didn't make a formal announcement about their Week 1 starter before releasing the inactives, but when they came out 90 minutes before kickoff, Wilson was on the list. Fields was expected to be the starter on offense and he helped lead the Steelers to a 3-0 start.

Pittsburgh has only had a few problems since then and is currently 4-2. Despite that strong start, Tomlin said Tuesday that he is considering Wilson as a Week 7 starter.

The Steelers need an offensive boost, and Wilson can definitely give them that. And Russ wants redemption more than ever after two disastrous years with the Denver Broncos. Now he's closer than ever to proving he has even more passes in that mighty arm.
