Steelers QB Russell Wilson says he's playing in preseason finale

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson expects to play Saturday against the Detroit Lions in the preseason finale, he said Wednesday.

"We're playing," he said, "Yeah, we're all playing. I'm excited to get back on the field. Last week was great to be out there for the first time, putting more pads on and everything else. And obviously we didn't get the win and everything else, but I think the big thing for us is just executing and us making our plays and doing our thing."

Wilson, 35, played five series against the Buffalo Bills in the team's second preseason game, but the Steelers failed to put any points on the board and frequently got behind the chains.
