Steelers Prepare Justin Fields for Broncos Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing to start quarterback Justin Fields for their Week 2 game against the Denver Broncos, as Russell Wilson continues to recover from a calf injury. Coach Mike Tomlin emphasized that the team will focus on Fields, who led Pittsburgh to an 18-10 victory over Atlanta in Week 1, completing 73.3% of his passes without turnovers. Wilson, who was initially named the starter, has been ruled out for practice and his participation remains uncertain, although Tomlin noted he is feeling better. The decision on Wilson's potential return will depend on his ability to protect himself and be productive, but Tomlin is not inclined to speculate. Fields' performance and connection with wide receiver George Pickens could influence the quarterback situation as Wilson recovers. Tomlin is committed to evaluating available players and is focused on the immediate game plan with Fields at the helm.
