We found out on Saturday that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields tweaked his hamstring and is now listed as questionable for Monday's game against the New York Giants.

Please excuse us if this all seems a little fishy. We are only nine days to the NFL trade deadline and if the Steelers were inclined to want to trade Fields and get some help at say, wide receiver, they want to be sure they have a reason not to play him on Monday against the Giants.

It all seems a little too convenient that Russell Wilson played really well in his first start of the season last week and now Fields is hurt just before a game the Steelers should win handily and then transition into the bye week.

We will know soon enough if this is just a silly conspiracy theory or the Steelers are really cooking up a big deal before the trade deadline.
