Since Russell Wilson took over for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Justin Fields hasn’t seen the field. Now, there’s nothing out of the ordinary if a team’s backup quarterback isn’t playing, of course. But the Steelers have talked about potentially using Fields in a package designed for him all along.
In fact, as recently as last Tuesday, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin warned one should “always anticipate” the possibility of them using Justin Fields as long as he is on the roster. After all, there aren’t many players who have a combination of skills and genetics such as his.
