Justin Fields is set to start for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their season opener against the Atlanta Falcons, replacing the injured Russell Wilson. Wilkins aggravated a calf injury that had troubled him throughout training camp, leading to Fields' opportunity.

Acquired from the Bears in the offseason, Fields' strong performance in training camp raised speculation about a potential quarterback competition. Despite Wilson's solid preseason, Fields' impressive arm and mobility could make him a key player for the Steelers moving forward.
