Fields will start at QB for the Steelers against the Broncos on Sunday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
With Russell Wilson (calf) listed as the Steelers' emergency third QB on Sunday, Fields is poised to make his second straight start after helming the team's 18-10 win over the Falcons in Week 1. It remains to be seen if Wilson will be able to resume practicing fully next week, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network speculates that a strong effort on the part of Fields versus Denver could result in him drawing another turn in Week 3. In Pittsburgh's season opener, the dual-threat signal-caller completed 17 of 23 passing attempts for 156 yards while adding 14 carries for 57 yards.
