It appears that Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are opting to prepare for Week 6 with Justin Fields as the starter once again. It only makes sense to go with the sure thing of Fields, given that they still have to evaluate how Russell Wilson’s body responds to his first full practices in over a month. But if Wilson responds well, and he is active for the game instead of being the emergency No. 3, how long of a leash will Fields have if the offense struggles?
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo doesn’t think Fields’ leash will be very long.
