Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson’s future with the team is uncertain, and recent updates from insiders aren’t reassuring. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Wilson still has the support of head coach Mike Tomlin, which could improve his chances of returning to the Steelers in 2025.
However, Garafolo also noted that Wilson’s best path back to the team is through Tomlin, implying that other factors might not be in Wilson’s favor.
Additionally, ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler reported that Wilson’s calf injury is more severe than expected, and he’s not recovering as quickly as hoped. This raises concerns about Wilson’s ability to perform at a high level, especially considering his age (35).
The Steelers have a decision to make about Wilson’s future, and it’s unclear whether they’ll re-sign him or explore other options. With Justin Fields emerging as a potential starter, the Steelers might choose to go with the younger quarterback.
Ultimately, the team’s decision will depend on various factors, including Wilson’s health, performance, and market value.
