Colin Cowherd is bringing the heat to start the week. With Russell Wilson sidelined the first four days of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp due to a calf strain, Justin Fields has gotten the team’s first-team reps. Fields shining in moments, the buzz about who should be the team’s starting quarterback has kicked back up.
