Has the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback competition changed?
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading into week three of training camp and are still waiting on Russell Wilson to return from a calf injury. In his absence, Justin Fields has taken over and started to win over the hearts of fans after some strong performances.
"Certainly, they’re competing, but I don’t overly concern ourselves with being fair," Tomlin said. "There’s no such thing as 50/50. We just pay respect to the totality of his resume and his experience. We lean on it; we let him lead the group informally." "Justin has absorbed a lot of responsibility since coming into the league. It’s probably a great opportunity for him to work alongside, day to day, somebody at his position that’s done it longer and done it at a high level," Tomlin said. "But rest assured, both guys are gonna be given an opportunity to show their skills over the course of the next month, and I’m excited about watching them sort themselves out.
