Steelers ‘Preparing As If’ Justin Fields Is The Starting QB Ahead Of Broncos Matchup, Mike Tomlin Says

With veteran quarterback Russell Wilson still on the mend from his calf injury that popped up late last week and kept him out of the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons, the Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing as if Justin Fields will be the starting quarterback in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Speaking with reporters Tuesday, Tomlin stated that while Wilson feels better now than he did in recent days, he’s still injured and the Steelers are moving forward preparing for a tough road trip against the Broncos with Fields as the quarterback.
