Steelers preparing Week 3 plan that 'features' QB Justin Fields

PITTSBURGH - For the third week in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers are readying for Justin Fields to start at quarterback Sunday as Russell Wilson continues to work through a lingering calf injury.

"We're kind of in the same posture as we were in last week with Russ," Tomlin said Tuesday. "As I sit here today, Russ is not scheduled to be a full participant in practice [Wednesday], and so we're ready in a plan that features Justin and his readiness."

Wilson was a limited participant in each practice last week and was inactive as he served as the emergency third quarterback in the win against the Broncos.
