Dulac: Russell Wilson Not Ruled Out Yet, But ‘Chances Are Very Slim’ For Season Opener

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback watch began on Thursday with everybody on high alert for an update on the status of intended starter Russell Wilson.

He told the media his calf felt funny during Thursday’s practice, which resulted in him being limited for the final two sessions of the week and being labeled questionable for the season opener.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers insider Gerry Dulac gave an update via X this evening, now just hours before the game.

“Russell Wilson still holding out hope he can play vs Falcons, though chances are very slim, per sources,” Dulac wrote.
