T'Challa may demand that somebody "get this man a shield". but at no point in the trailer do we actually see Steve Rogers wielding his traditional weapon. But there is a hint that it might actually be there in the Wakanda fight.

He's wearing a couple of gauntlets on his wrists, which could be the basis of his shield itself. Each gauntlet could spring forth a half of a shield, that combined makes a full one, similar to the one wielded in Captain America: Steve Rogers. He's obviously spending a lot of time on Wakanda, and if there's anywhere capable of making such a thing, it's there.
