Justin Fields: Definitely a plus for us to have the Ravens ready with two QBs

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said this week that quarterback Justin Fields “certainly“He could have a role in Saturday’s playoff game against the Ravens and Fields on Tuesday that he’ll be ready for whatever the coaching staff has in mind.

Fields said he always “prepares like I’m playing” and that he’ll be ready to take the field in Baltimore. The Steelers have regularly talked about using Fields, but he has only played 13 snaps since Russell Wilson took over as the starter in Week 7, so the talk rarely amounts to much substance.

The Steelers should be open to anything that can give their offense a spark after closing the regular season with four straight losses, but their reluctance to roll the dice with Fields over the past two months suggests they are more likely to sink or swim. With Wilson at the helm.
