The fact that Fields was given this chance following Russell Wilson’s absence due to a minor calf injury. There are others who contend that this might be the season’s tale. However, head coach Mike Tomlin of the Steelers opted to be cautious and hold Wilson out, allowing Fields to hone his talents throughout this session. Fields even mentioned how happy he was to receive a text early in the morning about taking first-team reps.
