Justin Fields hasn’t seen any action since the Pittsburgh Steelers benched him, but offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said that could still change for the quarterback.

Smith made it clear Thursday that the Steelers still have a set of plays specifically for Fields and added that he is ready and willing to use it. The offensive coordinator said it depends on the “flow of the game” and that Fields could shoot at any time.

“We received a package every week. It comes down to the flow of the game,” Smith told reporters. “It will be ready to go when we need it. Maybe it will be this Sunday. It might be next Sunday.

Fields had been dealing with an injury that actually left him inactive in Week 8, but that appears to be behind him. The Steelers still place a lot of importance on Fields’ mobility, especially compared to that of Russell Wilson.

Wilson has undoubtedly secured the starting job, as Pittsburgh’s offense has improved significantly since the change. Fields could still disrupt opposing defenses, but if he gets the chance, it will be a very brief appearance.
