Jaylen Warren says Steelers' special teams coordinator has talked about Justin Fields returning kicks

The Pittsburgh Steelers are considering using quarterback Justin Fields as a returner on kickoffs, according to special teams coordinator Danny Smith. The Steelers signed Cordarrelle Patterson, the NFL's kickoff return touchdowns leader, following new kickoff rules. Fields, acquired from the Chicago Bears, may be involved creatively if Russell Wilson wins the quarterback competition. Uncertainty exists about whether Fields' special teams snaps could impact a trade clause converting a draft pick based on offensive snap percentage.
