    The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing it close to the vest as to who will start at quarterback against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Quarterback Russell Wilson missed most of Thursday and Friday’s practices with the same calf strain he’s been dealing with for most of the offseason leaving the door open for Justin Fields to get the start.

    However, the gamesmanship continues for head coach Mike Tomlin and Pittsburgh as Wilson traveled with the team on Saturday to Atlanta. This just gives Falcons head coach Raheem Morris one more thing to think about in the hours leading up to the start of the game.

    If we were betting on this one, we expect Fields to get the start. Morris and

    the Falcons probably prepared for him on some level after head coach Mike Tomlin offered up his warning at the start of the week, not knowing he might have been giving the Falcons a leg up on prep.
