Although it’s only been two days of practice and the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t put on the pads until next week, the biggest headline news is Justin Fields serving as the team’s starting QB while Russell Wilson nurses a minor calf injury. Wilson should be back soon, perhaps this weekend, but Fields has taken advantage of valuable first-team reps.
So…how has he looked? The overall sentiment, by myself and others in attendance, has been positive. But I wanted to dedicate space to detailing his play, the good and bad, even knowing the sample size is small.
