Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields has gotten an unforeseen opportunity during the first two days of training camp. Russell Wilson has a tight calf muscle, sustained during a condition test on Wednesday. That opened the door for Fields to take all of the first-team snaps to start camp.
The Steelers have simply been keeping Wilson out as a precaution, so he should be back soon. In the meantime, Fields gets to work with the ones and showcase his skills. If he can perform well, that may lead to more opportunities to compete and earn the starting job.
