Steelers' Fields Questionable for Monday Night Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers face uncertainty regarding quarterback Justin Fields' participation in their Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants due to a hamstring injury. Fields, listed as questionable, will undergo pre-game tests to determine his availability, but sources suggest he is unlikely to play, leaving Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback with Kyle Allen as backup. The team had hoped to employ a dual-quarterback strategy, utilizing Fields' rushing abilities, which had proven effective against recent opponents. With the Steelers having a bye in Week 9 and holding a strong position in the AFC North, they may opt to rest Fields to ensure his full recovery. Fields' injury has generated significant discussion, with support from both internal team members and external commentators like Terry Bradshaw. The Steelers aim for a win to improve to 6-2, heading into a challenging phase of their schedule.
