The Pittsburgh Steelers have named Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback, concluding a competition with Justin Fields. This marks the fourth different Week 1 starter in as many seasons for the team.

Wilson, signed with hopes of revitalizing his career, takes over a team that has struggled offensively. The Steelers' decision comes after trading away Kenny Pickett, illustrating their shift in focus.

While Wilson has a strong resume, he faces uncertainty beyond the upcoming season, as no quarterbacks are currently under contract for 2025.
