Rapoport: ‘Absent Some Sort Of Magic Potion’ For Russell Wilson, Justin Fields Likely To Start Sunday

Russell Wilson was all set to enter the season as the Week 1 starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers until some calf tightness, the same calf that held him out of training camp, made him a limited participant on Thursday and Friday. He was officially labeled questionable after Friday’s practice.

Ian Rapoport offered an update on the situation, including a possible timeline of when we could hear more about Wilson’s status for Sunday’s regular season opener.

“Russell Wilson is officially listed as questionable, but my understanding is the team’s gonna put him through a little workout, test him tomorrow morning and see,” Rapoport said via NFL GameDay Kickoff on NFL Network.
