Good News: After Accepting Contract Deal Pittsburgh Steelers Officially Announced As Russell Wilson Still Reject Contract Deal Again With 2 Reasons Concerning The Statement From The Board
The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to turn things around after suffering back-to-back losses. But doing just that is going to be easier said than done, with the reigning and two-time defending Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs visiting the Steelers this coming Christmas on Wednesday. It is also possible that Pittsburgh will welcome the Chiefs with quarterback Justin Fields inactive.
Fields is reportedly dealing with an upper-body issue, which has caused him to miss practices last week and be ruled out for last Saturday’s meeting with the Baltimore Ravens. It’s the same injury that puts his availability for the Chiefs game in question. “For the #Steelers estimated injury report, QB Justin Fields (abdominal) was a DNP, while WR George Pickens (hamstring) was limited,”
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. The Steelers QB room amid Justin Fields’ uncertain status for Week 17 The Steelers, who lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15, 27-13, and to the Ravens, 24-17, in Week 15 and Week 16, respectively, are still expected to roll with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson as the team’s starter under center.
If Fields gets ultimately ruled out for a second game in a row, that could mean Kyle Allen’s elevation as Pittsburgh’s chief backup quarterback for the showdown versus Kansas City. An absence this Wednesday by Fields would mean his next chance to play will be in Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
