Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that they are planning to start Justin Fields as quarterback in their Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, while Russell Wilson continues to work through a lingering calf injury he suffered in training camp on Sept. 5.

Tomlin said Tuesday (per ESPN): “We’re kind of in the same posture as we were in last week with Russ. As I sit here today, Russ is not scheduled to be a full participant in practice [Wednesday], and so we’re readying a plan that features Justin and his readiness … We’re readying ourselves around Justin. We’ll stay in that mindset until something happens. Hypotheticals are a waste of time.” Tomlin added that he wouldn’t speculate on the starting quarterback job until Wilson is healthy.

Fields has gone 2-0 in his first two starts for the Steelers this year, and threw his lone touchdown of the season in Pittsburgh’s 13-6 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Wilson was limited in practice all of last week and won’t be able to fully participate when the Steelers start practice on Wednesday.

The Steelers will play the Chargers at Acrisure Stadium at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
