Justin Fields

Fields continues to get extra work with Wilson out

Tomlin said on Thursday that Wilson was "day-to-day" after waking up with a sore calf. The veteran quarterback didn't practice on Friday, but Tomlin said that was done "to keep a minor thing from becoming major." Speaking with the media after practice, Wilson said if this were a game-day situation, he'd be able to play. With Wilson sitting, Justin Fields once again took the snaps with the first-team offense. The Steelers aren't going to rush Wilson on the field, but given what we know, we'd expect to see him out there in the near future

Fields is getting regular first-team reps while Russell Wilson misses a few days of practice with a calf injury, ESPN's Brooke Pryor reports.
