Justin Fields Out for Steelers vs. Eagles After Suffering Abdominal Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields' first play in Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles turned out to be his last.

Fields, who was hit hard on a late slide after an eight-yard run in the second quarter, was ruled out for the remainder of the game due to an abdomen injury. The hit drew a penalty and kept Pittsburgh's drive alive, as starting quarterback Russell Wilson threw a touchdown pass to Pat Freiermuth a few plays later to cut Philadelphia's lead to 17-10.

Fields dealt with a hamstring injury earlier this season and was the team's emergency third-string quarterback in a Week 8 win over the New York Giants as a result.
