Steelers Set to Rely on Justin Fields Against Chargers Amid Injury Concerns

In a pivotal decision for the Pittsburgh Steelers, it appears that Justin Fields will once again take the helm as quarterback in their upcoming matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday.

Fields, who has already started both games this season, has contributed significantly to the team’s current undefeated record of 2-0. Head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed during a press briefing on Tuesday that preparations are in full swing for Fields to lead the offense, especially after Russell Wilson's calf injury has limited his participation in practice.

Tomlin reported that Wilson will not partake in full practice sessions when the team reconvenes on Wednesday.

In his comments, Tomlin emphasized the team's commitment to focusing on Fields as the starter. "We’re readying ourselves around Justin and we’ll stay in that mindset until something else happens,” he stated firmly, dismissing speculation as a distraction.

Fields had a commendable performance last Sunday, completing 13 of his 20 passes for 117 yards and throwing one touchdown in a narrow 13-6 victory over the Denver Broncos.

Additionally, he showcased his dual-threat capability by rushing the ball eight times for 27 yards.

As the Steelers gear up for this exciting showdown against the Chargers, fans are left wondering if Fields can continue to elevate his game and maintain their winning streak. Stay tuned, as the stakes grow higher and the Steelers are more than ready to embrace the challenge! Are we witnessing the rise of a new star in Pittsburgh?
