The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the same position as last week, preparing for quarterback Justin Fields to make another start, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

Head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday the plan at this stage is to once again get Fields ready to start Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers as Russell Wilson continues to deal with a calf injury.

"Really, we're kind of in the same posture as we were in last week with Russ," Tomlin told reporters. "As I sit here today, Russ is not scheduled to be a full participant in practice, and so we're readying a plan that features Justin and his readiness."

It's the same story as last week -- almost verbatim -- as Tomlin reiterated he's not living in "hypotheticals" when it comes to Wilson questions.

"We'll follow Russ throughout the week, and if his participation gets to a level in participation and quality where he should consider him, we'll delve into that at that time," he said. "Obviously, when that happens is a component of the consideration. But as I sit here today, he is not scheduled to be a full participant tomorrow in practice, and so we're readying ourselves around Justin, and we'll stay in that mindset until something else happens. Hypotheticals is a waste of our time."
