Tomlin: Wilson 'in consideration' to start vs. Jets

PITTSBURGH -- After proving his health and "knocking the rust off" in practice last week, Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is "in consideration" to start against the New York Jets on Sunday, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.

Tomlin said he would make his choice between Wilson and Justin Fields as the starting quarterback "closer to game time."

"I got comfortable with his ability to display his health [last week]," Tomlin said of Wilson. "... Now it's about knocking the rust off. He is in consideration this week. We'll see where that leads us, man. Both guys at the quarterback position are scheduled to work [Wednesday] and we'll just walk it day by day. All geared toward putting ourselves in best position to win the football game."
