For the second week in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers are listing quarterback Russell Wilson's game status as questionable, making it likely Justin Fields will make his second start against Denver.
"Regarding Russell's availability, I'm going to list him as questionable, and so obviously if his availability is questionable, then starting is less so," Tomlin said Friday."But we've been in that mindset all week, man. Like I've said, we've been focused on getting Justin ready to play and we'll continue in that mindset as we push forward toward game time.
"I think the only thing different this week is Troy is more available," Tomlin said."Obviously his availability is not in question, and so I've been more thoughtful about how to distribute reps, and at the end of this thing we'll determine who plays and how often.""Really just preparing myself mentally really more than anything," Fautanu said of his process since injuring his knee Aug. 9.
