Despite Russell Wilson increasing his practice participation, the Steelers are preparing for Justin Fields to make his fifth start Sunday against the Cowboys.
Tomlin also said Fields' performance could eventually impact the Steelers' approach to bringing Wilson back from injury.
"In a lot of ways, I'm taking the same posture that I've taken in recent weeks, but I'm acknowledging that he's doing more work today than he did last Tuesday." "We were down multiple scores in the fourth quarter, man, but I didn't feel any blink," Tomlin said."In particular, I didn't feel any blink in Justin. We've talked about his steady demeanor in recent weeks. In terms of the things that I've grown to know and understand about him, I think it's really on display in moments like that. ... You really get an opportunity to develop a relationship in the midst of adversity and competition.
