It’s now official that Mitch Trubisky will be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback for the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday, with him listed as the first-string quarterback on the team’s first official depth chart Monday.

He got the job over first-round draft pick Kenny Pickett and longtime backup Mason Rudolph. Trubisky, a veteran signed to a two-year, $14.2 million contract in free agency, was voted one of five team captains by teammates earlier Monday.

Jets' Wilson Worked Out For First Time

The New York Jets said Monday that quarterback Zach Wilson worked out for the first time since having arthroscopic knee surgery on August 16 for a torn meniscus, and head coach Robert Saleah said “it’s possible” that he could start Game 1 Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

However, ESPN said the “realistic outcome” is Wilson will have at least another week to recover, and backup Joe Flacco will start Sunday.

Players Should Get Share of Revenue

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that players should get a share of the revenue generated by the expanded College Football Playoff.

Speaking at his weekly news conference, Harbaugh said, “I do believe the players should receive a revenue share from the massive TV deals that have been worked out.” A plan to expand the CFP from the current four teams to 12 was approved Friday.
