Steelers' Tomlin Explains Not Naming Justin Fields QB1 amid Russell Wilson's Injury

Despite Justin Fields' hot start to the season, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin still hasn't committed to him as the team's starting quarterback while Russell Wilson continues to recover from a calf injury.

When asked on Tuesday why he isn't naming Fields the starter, Tomlin told reporters, "Because there's no need, I explained to you the variables of the week. ... When Russ gets to an appropriate level of health, and I have a decision to make, I'll make it."

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
