Mike Tomlin ‘Didn’t Want A Small Problem To Become A Big Problem’ With Justin Fields’ Injury

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had some rotten injury luck this season, especially at quarterback. Starter Russell Wilson missed the first six games of the year with a calf injury, only getting back to action recently. Now, backup Justin Fields is nursing a hamstring injury. It could be seen as good luck that there wasn’t any overlap with these injuries, but it’s still unfortunate. However, Mike Tomlin made it seem like Fields’ injury is nothing to be concerned about.

“[Fields] experienced a minor hamstring injury during our last day of practice going into the Giants game,” Tomlin said Tuesday during his weekly press conference via the team’s YouTube channel.
