It doesn’t appear we’ll know who will be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback against the Atlanta Falcons until shortly before kickoff. According to a late-night tweet from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, QB Russell Wilson has told the team he feels healthy enough to play. However, team doctors are being “cautious” with his calf injury and will make a final determination Sunday morning before the 1 PM/EST kickoff.
Russell Wilson suffered his calf injury, the second of the summer, during Thursday’s practice. He was limited during the session and did only individual/side throwing on Friday, though he dressed and went through the team’s stretch line.
