Russell Wilson has been in the limelight for the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of their Week 8 clash against the New York Giants. The quarterback played his first game of the season against the New York Jets in Week 7 when he replaced Justin Fields as the Steelers’ QB1 and led Pittsburgh to a dominant 37-15 win.
Now, fans want to know whether Wilson will play against the Giants on Monday night.
Is Russell Wilson playing tonight in Week 8 vs. Giants?

Barring any late injury or setback, Russell Wilson will lead the offense for the Steelers against the Giants on Monday night. The nine-time Pro Bowler is active on the Pittsburgh roster and remained away from the injury report in the build-up to the Week 8 game.
Wilson, who signed for the Steelers this offseason, missed the opening six games for the team due to a calf injury that he sustained during training camp. However, he made his return in style in Week 7.
In his regular-season debut for the Steelers, Wilson completed 16 of 29 passes for 264 yards and threw two touchdowns. He also rushed for a score against the Jets to get Pittsburgh its fifth win of the season.
Heading into the Week 8 game against the Giants, the Steelers will want Wilson to continue from where he left off last week when he suits up for their Monday night contest.
