Head coach Mike Tomlin talked about deciding who the starting QB will be when Wilson is healthy.
“Sometimes in this business, there’s a myriad of complex decisions that need to be made. I’ve learned to make them when it’s appropriate. And it’s not necessary as we sit here right now,” Tomlin said.
“When Russ gets to an appropriate point of health and we have a decision to make, I’ll make it and I’ll announce it and I’ll be really transparent about it. But until then … I’ve got no intentions of making the decision that’s unnecessary at this juncture.”
