Is Russell Wlson Playing Today? (Injury Update, Prop Betting Impact for Steelers vs. Broncos)
Russell Wilson was a late add to the injury report ahead of kickoff of the Steelers season against the Falcons last week.
With Justin Fields under center, the Steelers won its opener in Atlanta and now it appears that Fields is going to remain as QB1 for Pittsburgh with Wilson still sporting a calf injury through this week.
Right now, Mike Tomlin says they are preparing Justin Fields to start vs the #broncos. They will continue to evaluate Russell Wilson's progress with his calf injury.

As Mike Tomlin told us earlier, Russell Wilson is questionable.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) September 13, 2024
Roman Wilson is also questionable. And Isaac Seumalo is out.
Also very noteworthy that all OTs are off the injury report. We’ll see what that means for Sunday 👀 pic.twitter.com/V1rd7Qu2Hv
Fields was capable under center for the Steelers offense, which may make the team even more careful with Wilson’s calf injury and making sure he is 100%.
Pittsburgh is a three-point road favorite in Denver against the Broncos as the team looks to remain undefeated with a total of only 36.5.b

Justin Fields Prop Bets for Steelers vs. Broncos in Week 2
Passing Yards: N/A
Rushing Yards: N/A
Anytime Touchdown Scorer: +210
Fields only passed for 156 yards in the opening game, completing 17 passes of his 23 attempts, being smart with the football and guiding the Steelers to six field goal drives in the 18-10 win against the Falcons.
Fields also added 57 yards on 14 carries with no turnovers, a clean effort from the Steelers quarterback.
With Wilson likely out for this game again, it’ll be on Fields to continue to navigate the Pittsburgh offense in what’s expected to be another low scoring affair.
