Steelers reveal Justin Fields plans for exhibition opener

The Steelers Give Justin Fields an Opportunity

Justin Fields has a chance to showcase his skills as the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens. Russell Wilson, the current backup due to a calf injury, is supporting Fields as he takes on this challenge in training camp.

Coach Tomlin commends Fields for his competitive spirit and ability to adapt to the team environment. Although Wilson is expected to return as the starter, Fields will get his chance to lead the team during the exhibition game.

While Wilson is set to make a comeback, Tomlin emphasizes that every opportunity is an audition for all players, including Fields. The young quarterback understands the importance of making the most of his reps and improving his skills each day.

Both Fields and Wilson bring valuable experience to the team, with Wilson serving as a mentor to the younger quarterback. Tomlin values the clarity in the team’s pecking order and believes that Fields can learn from Wilson’s expertise.
