After being limited Thursday and appearing to be limited Friday in practice, based on videos from the South Side, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson’s status appears up in the air for Sunday’s season-opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaking with reporters Friday following practice, Wilson wouldn’t go as far as saying he is still expecting to start on Sunday inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. What he did say is that he’s focused on getting his body right to allow him to play against the Falcons.
“Yeah, trying to get my body ready to go and rock and roll, so we’re doing everything we can,” Wilson said to reporters Friday, according to video via the Tribune-Review’s Chris Adamski, when asked if he believed he would start Sunday.
