Despite Russell Wilson increasing his practice participation, the Steelers are preparing for Justin Fields to make his fifth start Sunday against the Cowboys.

Ailing quarterback Russell Wilson intends to increase his participation in practice and put behind him the calf injury keeping him out of the Pittsburgh Steelers' lineup. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin remains steadfast in his approach to involving Wilson in Pittsburgh's plans.

Justin Fields’ reign as the Steelers starter continues. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Russell Wilson would see his practice participation “pick up some” this week, meaning Fields will almost assuredly be under center for a fifth straight start in Week 5’s matchup with the Cowboys.
