As veteran quarterback Russell Wilson gets closer and closer to full health and potentially getting closer to getting onto the field as the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, backup quarterback Justin Fields, who has led the Steelers to a 3-1 start and has played pretty well to boot, isn’t sweating it.

Speaking with reporters Thursday ahead of the Week 5 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, Fields said he’s not feeling any extra added pressure to perform well as Wilson gets healthier.

Instead, Fields is just focused on doing what he’s been doing all season long and controlling what he can control, leaving any sort of QB decision up to those that make them, particularly head coach Mike Tomlin.
