How many snaps will Justin Fields play in the Steelers’ season opener?
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin named Russell Wilson the starting quarterback on Wednesday—but suggested Justin Fields could play, too. As he told Rich Eisen, Fields has too much talent to just leave on the bench. Reading between the lines, a Justin Fields package sounds like a very plausible reality.
That doesn’t guarantee the Steelers will employ it, but they have it in their back pocket. Tomlin joked that his good friend, Raheem Morris, the head coach of their first opponent, had better prepare the Falcons for a Justin Fields package.
