Steelers' Russell Wilson Expected to Play Bills Preseason Game Barring Injury Setback

Russell Wilson is scheduled to make his Pittsburgh Steelers debut in Saturday's preseason action against the Buffalo Bills "if he doesn't have a setback," head coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday (h/t ESPN's Brooke Pryor.)

Wilson suffered a calf injury while pushing a sled during a conditioning test on July 24, per Mike DeFabo of The Athletic.

The veteran quarterback returned to practice in a limited capacity on July 30, and was a full participant in the week leading up to the contest against the Bills.

Justin Fields started the Steelers' preseason opener, a 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans on Aug.
