PITTSBURGH — Quarterback Russell Wilson said he is “preparing to be ready” to start for the Steelers against the Fresh York Jets on Sunday night.
Mentor Mike Tomlin declined to call a starter, but Wilson, who suffered calf trauma in training camp in early September, took first-team reps in practice and led the quarterback rotation in drills. individuals in this presentation. He was active during the first year of this season against Las Vegas’ top presence, but did not play.
“I’m more myself physically, I’m functioning and everything, so I feel good,” Wilson said Thursday. “…You want to be able to move around and obviously I’ve never missed games before, so that’s been a challenge in itself.
“It’s been disappointing, but I’ve also built up a buildup. I think you know you still like it all the time. You keep looking for tactics to achieve supremacy, you keep looking for tactics to achieve supremacy. Just include the demanding situations, the hardened things, the obstacles in our behavior and everything else. And you also sit down to walk.
The Steelers went 4-2 with Justin Fields as the starter, but Wilson was still listed as QB1 on the depth chart during those six weeks.
“I think Justin has completed a superior process,” Wilson said. “I think he’s a great quarterback. I’ve battled against him over the years. He’s a great football player, a great teammate and all that. And I think the most important thing for us is that we continue progressing in the process. “The season. We need to recover and continue growing. That is the function on each and every date.”
When asked about any potential discomfort with a quarterback change, Wilson pointed to his time in Denver, when he was benched for Jarrett Stidham late in the season.
“I went through a tough deadline. Sort of surprising along the way, and that was tough in itself,” Wilson said. “But in the same year, you dominate with love. You have supremacy with love for the sport, love for your teammates, just love for what you can do at all times.
“…I came here for one reason. It was to win the Super Bowl. It was to go as far as we could and see how far we could go with it. I think we have that opportunity, but we have to put in the work.”
