ERIC FRISHKORN FROM ELIZABETHTOWN, PA: If it were you, who would you start at quarterback in Week 2 vs. the Broncos in Denver?
ANSWER: If Russell Wilson is healthy, I would start him at quarterback. And by healthy, I mean based on the medical staff’s judgement on whether he will be able to move around in the pocket and do the things he has done throughout his career to allow him to play the position the way he has, the way he needs to play it to be successful. He has to be able to protect himself from the pass rush. This should not be a situation, in my opinion, where a player is pushing to “gut it out” and get onto the field, because Justin Fields is a legitimate option, and as was shown last Sunday in Atlanta the Steelers can win games with him at quarterback. Not to ruin this with a quote from someone with the authority to make the decision, but here is what Coach Mike Tomlin said at his news conference on Tuesday: “As I sit here today, we’re preparing as if Justin (Fields) is going to be our quarterback. I think that’s the appropriate way to do it. Speculation is a waste of time. Russell’s hurt.” During Wednesday’s practice, Wilson was listed as a limited participant with a calf injury.

JAMIE STRAHL FROM OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA: Sadly, I had to work last Sunday and missed watching the game. How did Patrick Queen do in his first game with the Steelers? And I did not see Elandon Roberts’ name on the stat sheet. Did he play? How long will Isaac Seumalo be out with his injury? Is he sidelined for a minimum of 4 games?
ANSWER: Patrick Queen played 56 defensive snaps (100 percent) and 2 special teams snaps (8 percent), and he was credited with 2 tackles on defense. Elandon Roberts played 23 snaps on defense (41 percent) and 2 special teams snaps (8 percent), and he was not credited with any tackles. I cannot tell you how long Isaac Seumalo’s pectoral injury will keep him sidelined, but because the Steelers didn’t place him on injured reserve/designated…
