PITTSBURGH — Justin Fields is inactive for Monday night's game against the New York Giants and will serve as the Pittsburgh Steelers' emergency third quarterback.
Fields was added to the team's injury report Sunday with a hamstring issue and was listed as questionable. Fields was a full participant in all practices in the week leading up to the prime-time matchup.
He also threw warmup passes on the field at Acrisure Stadium several hours before kickoff, taking the field after Russell Wilson and Kyle Allen went through their warmups.
With Fields' hamstring injury, Allen will serve as Wilson's primary backup. Wilson will start his second game of the season after missing the first six weeks with a lingering calf injury.
