PITTSBURGH – Exciting news for Pittsburgh Steelers fans, as it looks like Justin Fields will be making his third straight start at quarterback when the Steelers take on the Los Angeles Chargers this coming Sunday.
Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed on Tuesday that Fields will be leading the team in practice this week, as Russell Wilson continues to recover from a calf injury he sustained just before the season opener. Wilson’s status remains unchanged, and Fields seems set to play against the unbeaten Chargers.
Fields has been performing admirably, helping the Steelers achieve a perfect 2-0 start to the season. With no interceptions thrown and his ability to extend plays with his legs, Fields has quickly established himself as a reliable option for the team.
During a crucial moment in Sunday’s game against Denver, Tomlin trusted Fields to rally the offense and provide the necessary motivation to secure the win. Fields rose to the occasion, displaying his leadership qualities and winning mindset.
The team is also hopeful for a return from left guard Isaac Seumalo, providing a boost to the offensive line. Furthermore, with officials monitoring practice throughout the week, the Steelers aim to reduce their penalty count and make necessary adjustments to strengthen their gameplay.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Pittsburgh Steelers continue their journey in the 2024 NFL season.
