Fields (hamstring) will test out his hamstring during pre-game warmups before the Steelers make a decision on his status for Monday's contest against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Fields, who officially is listed as questionable for Monday Night Football, looks like he'll be a game-time decision for Week 8. If Fields is unable to go, Pittsburgh would be forced to turn to Kyle Allen as Russell Wilson's backup versus New York. Rapoport notes that Fields' injury isn't considered overly severe, but with the Steelers slated for a Week 10 bye, the team could opt for caution. Official word on Fields' status will arrive no later than 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
