PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WKBN) – Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Tuesday that, as of Tuesday, he is preparing Justin Fields to start at quarterback on Sunday in Denver.

Tomlin says veteran starter Russell Wilson is feeling better after missing week one with calf tightness. Wilson has not been officially ruled out for Sunday, and the team will continue to monitor his progress throughout the week.

In a week one victory in Atlanta, Fields completed 17-23 passes for 156 yards. He also rushed for 70 yards on 20 carries for Pittsburgh.

The Steelers visit the Broncos on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. on WKBN-27.
