Pittsburgh’s Justin Fields will be the third quarterback for the New York Giants game after a hamstring injury. He started six games while Russell Wilson was recovering from a calf injury. Fields will be behind Wilson and Kyle Allen as the Steelers aim for a third consecutive victory. Cordarrelle Patterson will miss his fourth game with an ankle injury, while Nick Herbig and Zach Frazier will be inactive.

Fields was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft, becoming the third NFL quarterback in history to have a season with over 1,000 rushing yards after becoming the first quarterback in the 108-year history of the single-game regular season record holder for quarterback rushing yards since at least 1948. He was traded in 2024 to the Steelers after three seasons of play with the Bears.
Fields and Wilson were battling for playing time during the Steelers’ first season. Wilson was anointed QB1 but did not play due to a calf injury. Fields played in the pocket the entire 3-2 stretch and was on the active list Week 6. The Steelers won 32-13 at Las Vegas as Fields went 14 of 24 for 145 yards. The Steelers offense was average with Fields behind center.
