PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Steelers were back on the field in Latrobe on Monday, preparing for their second preseason game next weekend.
The Steelers host the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium and quarterback Russell Wilson is expected to play his first game with the team.
Wilson completed another full workout on Monday, a good sign that he is fully healthy again after missed time during training camp due to a minor calf injury.
In the meantime, Justin Fields has also done a lot of work – and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith was impressed with what he saw from the backup quarterback on Friday.
“He was determined,” Smith said. “I thought he threw a great ball to Van. No matter who goes online and tries to break things down, the most important thing is that the responsibility is shared with the protections and the route depths.”
“I think we didn’t get in our own way and I think he did a pretty good job,” Smith added.
Fields is expected to see significantly more playing time on Saturday when his team plays the Bills.
Kick-off at the Acrisure Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Steelers and Bills training together
The two teams will have a joint training session at Acrisure Stadium on Thursday at 2 p.m.
The practice remains closed to the public.
