Though Mike Tomlin hasn’t weighed in and there hasn’t been an official announcement, QB Justin Fields is looking like the Pittsburgh Steelers starter for the team’s Week 2 game against the Denver Broncos.
According to KOA Denver radio host Ryan Edwards, NFL Network Ian Rapoport indicated Fields is likely to keep the starting job through the weekend.
