Justin Fields' head coach refuses to name him starter
Justin Fields has been thriving with the Pittsburgh Steelers ever since being traded there by the Chicago Bears.
Fields has gotten three starts to begin the year and he is 3-0. While the defense has carried in many of those games, Fields has looked amazing. Now, however, head coach Mike Tomlin is being asked whether or not Fields is the starter going forward. It was supposed to be Russell Wilson, but he has been injured. With Russ gearing up to come back, Tomlin is refusing to make his decision final. Instead, he is waiting until he has to make that call.
"I've learned to make them when it's appropriate and it's not necessary as we sit here right now, when Russ gets to an appropriate point of health and we have a decision to make, I'll make it and I'll announce it and I'll be really transparent about it, but until then, I don't care how many ways you guys ask me, I got no intentions of making the decision that's unnecessary at this juncture."
Only time will tell whether or not Wilson ever gets back onto the field. With Fields rolling, this could very well be the end of Wilson's career. He is injury prone, and he hasn't been the same in two seasons.
