Against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers anticipate seeing quarterback Justin Fields return. Fields was the backup quarterback against the Kansas City Chiefs despite missing the previous two games due to an abdominal injury. He is now anticipated to return to his backup quarterback duties against the Bengals.
During a read option against the Philadelphia Eagles, Fields sustained the injury. Eagles safety Reed Blankenship came into contact with him as he was sliding to the ground and was called for unwarranted roughness. Due to his injuries, he left the game and never came back.
Fields began rushing off to the side and tossing the football last week. That previously suggested that he was well-positioned to play against the Bengals, and it appears that this is already happening.
This season, Fields has made six starts for the Steelers. Prior to Russell Wilson taking over as the team’s primary quarterback, Fields filled in after being traded from the Chicago Bears and guided the Steelers to a 4-2 record over those six starts.
