? According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, the Pittsburgh Steelers worked out wide receivers Daylen Baldwin, T.J. Luther and Sam Pinckney, running backs Deshaun Fenwick and Josh Henderson, and defensive end Joshua Pryor on Monday.
The Steelers don’t have an obvious need at wide receiver, with 11 players on the active roster and 10 of them healthy, but they could use a kickoff returner. Cordarrelle Patterson (hamstring) has yet to practice with the team this season. Luther has return abilities.
? Justin Fields has +215 odds to be the Steelers’ QB1 in Week 1, according to FanDuel. A week ago, his odds were at +450.
I always trust the betting markets. Especially from @FanDuel. Still an upset to starter week 1. But not a long shot anymore. pic.twitter.com/9suvDWtVvV

? Adam Schefter of ESPN thinks Russell Wilson is still in pole position to be the Steelers’ starting quarterback, but Justin Fields has narrowed the gap.
“Justin Fields has gotten better and better and the Steelers love the guy.. I still think that Russell Wilson has the pole position and we’ll see what happens when he’s back from this calf injury,” Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show.
