**Russell Wilson to Make First Start for Steelers Against Jets**
In a significant move, the Pittsburgh Steelers are poised to start veteran quarterback Russell Wilson for their upcoming game against the New York Jets. Sources close to the team confirmed that Wilson will take the field Sunday night at home, marking his debut in a Steelers uniform.
Wilson's start comes as the Steelers hold a 4-2 record, having achieved this with Justin Fields stepping in as quarterback. Fields, who had been filling in admirably, will now make way for Wilson, provided that the latter does not experience a recurrence of the calf injury that sidelined him earlier this season.
Coach Mike Tomlin had hinted throughout the week that a change at quarterback might be on the horizon but kept his final decision under wraps. With Wilson now cleared to play, Tomlin has decided it's time for the seasoned QB to lead the team, aiming to build on their strong start to the season.
