The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting a long look at QB Justin Fields, all thanks to Russell Wilson’s calf. The 12-year veteran injured it during the team’s conditioning test, leaving the younger Fields to run the offense. He has gotten better and more consistent as the practice days wear on, which is what offensive coordinator Arthur Smith wanted to see.
Really, Smith, and the Steelers, just wanted to see more of Justin Fields, for a very obvious reason. Russell Wilson has way more experience, or “way more of a known commodity”, as he put it to Jori Epstein for Yahoo Sports.
