Justin Fields

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the team is “preparing as if Justin Fields is our quarterback.”

Tomlin also told reporters the team’s depth chart is unchanged, meaning Russell Wilson is still the starter when healthy. However, opening by saying the team is preparing for Fields suggests Wilson will miss Week 2 as well. He was forced to miss Week 1 with a lingering calf issue, giving Fields the start. Fields didn’t get a touchdown on the board versus Atlanta but did lead six drives that ended in field goals. Those 18 points were enough to topple the hapless Falcons. He also ran 14 times for 57 yards. Fields will be a high-end QB2 for his Week 2 matchup with the Broncos.
