• Steelers' Justin Fields: Out for remainder of Week 15

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Fields (abdomen) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Fields was hurt on his only snap of the game -- a second-quarter eight-yard carry on which Reed Blankenship was penalized for unnecessary roughness. Fields' absence means that Pittsburgh will be unable to deploy the package that features Fields as a runner, which the team has been using a few times per game. Russell Wilson remains the Steelers' No. 1 quarterback.

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Fields is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Eagles due to an abdominal injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Fields had carried the ball once for eight yards prior to suffering an injury during the third quarter of Sunday's matchup. If he ends up being unable to return, the team will have to turn to emergency third quarterback Kyle Allen should Russell Wilson get hurt.

• Steelers' Justin Fields: Gets one carry in Week 13

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Fields played two of the Steelers' 69 offensive snaps and carried once for seven yards in Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals. For the third week in a row, the Steelers carved out a small package of plays for Fields, who presents a more dynamic rushing threat than starter Russell Wilson. Fields has now reeled off gains of seven, eight, nine and 30 yards on four of his six carries over the past three games, so expect the Steelers to continue sprinkling him into the game plan over the final five contests of the regular season.

• Steelers' Justin Fields: Plays seven snaps in primetime

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Fields failed to complete his lone pass attempt while rushing three times for 26 yards during Thursday's 24-19 loss to the Browns. Fields was out with the offense for three snaps during last week's win over the Ravens, and his snap count increased slightly Thursday, with most of his action coming in the second half, when the snow made passing conditions difficult. He's been efficient during his limited action over the last two games, averaging 8.6 yards per carry on five rushing attempts, but he remains firmly in the No. 2 role behind Russell Wilson and is unlikely to have much of a fantasy impact as long as he continues to see minimal snaps.

• Steelers' Justin Fields: Healthy after bye week

  11/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Fields (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Fields was inactive in Week 8 against the Giants, but he's back healthy following Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye. With Russell Wilson having since taken over as the Steelers' starting quarterback while guiding Pittsburgh to two wins in as many outings, Fields will return to the top backup role Sunday against the Commanders. Third-string quarterback Kyle Allen is likely to be inactive for Week 10.
