Tomlin: Steelers Preparing Justin Fields As Week 3 Starter With Russell Wilson Still On The Mend

As the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare for their home opener on Sunday against the 2-0 Los Angeles Chargers, they are doing so with the idea that Justin Fields will once again be the starting quarterback.

Mike Tomlin spoke to the media in his normal Tuesday afternoon slot, and basically gave a non update with a lot of the same messaging as last week. Wilson is not scheduled to be a full participant in practice, and they will proceed with Fields as he is who is available to them right now.

“Really, we’re kind of in the same posture as we were last week with Russ [Wilson],” Tomlin said in a video posted on the Steelers’ YouTube channel.
