  • Steelers' Justin Fields: Lining up for Week 3 start

    Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he's preparing for Fields to make a third straight start Sunday against the Chargers, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. "We're readying ourselves around Justin. We'll stay in that mindset until something happens. Hypotheticals are a waste of time," Tomlin said.

    Russell Wilson was named the Steelers' starter coming out of the preseason, but he's been inactive for the first two weeks of the regular season after reporting calf tightness following a Sept. 5 practice. Per Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site, Tomlin suggested that Wilson is in a holding pattern in his recovery from the injury and isn't scheduled to be a full participant for Wednesday's practice, so Pittsburgh will continue to go with Fields under center. The Steelers are off to a 2-0 start to the season largely on the back of a stifling defense and a run-first offense, but Fields has been an effective game manager thus far, committing no turnovers while completing 30 of 43 pass attempts for 273 yards (6.3 YPA) and one touchdown and presenting a threat as a runner (22 carries for 84 yards). The matchup with the unbeaten Chargers will represent Fields' toughest test yet, but if he can help lead Pittsburgh to another win, Tomlin will have a hard time removing him from the starting job even after Wilson is back to full speed.

  • Steelers' Justin Fields: Limited by conservative offense

    Fields completed 13 of 20 passes for 117 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos. He added eight rushes for 27 yards.

    Fields concluded an effective 12-play, 78-yard drive early in the first quarter with a five-yard touchdown pass to Darnell Washington. On the possession, Fields went 3-for-3 for 32 yards while chipping in 17 yards on the ground. The Steelers relied heavily on their ground game and defense to come away with a victory from there, though he did have an impressive 51-yard completion to George Pickens called back for holding. The Steelers have implemented a conservative game plan for both of Fields' two starts to begin the season, in turn limiting his fantasy production.

  • Steelers' Justin Fields: Draws start Sunday

    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.

  • Steelers' Justin Fields: Could keep starting job with win

    Fields is in line to start Sunday's game in Denver, and if he performs well, he could remain the team's top quarterback heading into Week 3 even if Russell Wilson (calf) is fully cleared to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Wilson wasn't available Week 1 and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday, though the expectation is that he'll be inactive as the Steelers' emergency No. 3 quarterback for the second game in a row since he has yet to return to full practice participation. While filling in for Wilson in Week 1, Fields' numbers weren't eye-popping (17-for-23 passing for 156 yards, 14 carries for 57 yards), but he executed the game plan and played turnover-free football as he guided Pittsburgh to an 18-10 win over Atlanta. The Steelers will hope that Fields can follow a similar script this weekend in a matchup with a capable Denver defense, and if he does, head coach Mike Tomlin could have a tough time sending the 25-year-old back to the bench. Wilson won the starting job coming out of the preseason, but his calf injury has reopened the door for Fields to establish himself as the preferred option.

  • Steelers' Justin Fields: Trending toward another start

    Fields appears to be trending toward making his second consecutive start Sunday against the Broncos, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Per Varley, Fields, who started last weekend against the Falcons, has been working as though he'll be the starter again this week, while fellow QB Russell Wilson continues to deal with a calf injury and officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. For his part, when addressing Wilson's Week 2 status, coach Mike Tomlin said Friday, "Regarding Russell's availability, I'm going to list him as questionable. So, obviously if his availability is questionable, then starting is less so," while adding, "But we've been in that mindset all week. Like I've said, we've been focused on getting Justin ready to play and we'll continue in that mindset as we push forward toward game time." In any case, look for added context regarding the Steelers' QB plans to arrive closer to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
