Coach Mike Tomlin provided a little more clarity into the quarterback situation, sharing after practice that Russell Wilson will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.
With Wilson listed as questionable, the expectation is it will be Justin Fields for the second straight week at quarterback.
"Regarding Russell's availability, I'm going to list him as questionable," said Coach Mike Tomlin. "So, obviously if his availability is questionable, then starting is less so.
"But we've been in that mindset all week. Like I've said, we've been focused on getting Justin (Fields) ready to play and we'll continue in that mindset as we push forward toward game time."
On the offensive line front, No. 1 pick Troy Fautanu hasn't appeared on the injury report this week and Tomlin said his 'availability is not in question.'
"I think the only thing different this week is Troy's more available," said Tomlin. "Obviously, his availability is not in question. So, I've been more thoughtful about how to distribute reps. At the end of this thing, we'll determine who plays and how much.
"Troy's been here the whole time. His injury is different than Roman's. Roman (Wilson) got hurt in the very early portion of the process. (Troy's) been a component, a large component, through the process. So, it's a different discussion."
