Schefter: Steelers ‘Unsure’ Whether Russell Wilson Will Be Able To Play Sunday

It was reported shortly after practice today that QB Russell Wilson was experiencing calf tightness as he was listed as a limited participant at practice. Adam Schefter discussed this situation on NFL Live this afternoon.

“After nursing a calf injury during training camp, Russell Wilson felt tightness in his calf today,” Schefter said via ESPN’s NFL Live. “That’s not encouraging. The Steelers are unsure whether he’ll be able to play on Sunday. We’ll probably have a better idea tomorrow. If he can’t go, then Justin Fields would wind up starting against Atlanta.
