After weeks of dancing around questions regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback situation, Mike Tomlin finally hinted Tuesday that Justin Fields could remain the starter even after Russell Wilson is healthy. He specifically said that “there’s a potential” that he’ll continue to “ride the hot hand” of Justin Fields. Tomlin confirmed that Wilson’s practice participation will pick up this week, but Fields is still expected to start on Sunday Night when the Steelers host the Dallas Cowboys.
Former NFL offensive lineman and now ESPN analyst Jeff Saturday appeared on SportsCenter on Tuesday afternoon, and he endorsed Justin Fields as the long-term starter.
