Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson expressed hope Friday that he will be able to start Sunday's season-opening game against the Atlanta Falcons despite dealing with a calf injury.
According to ESPN's Brooke Pryor, Wilson said he is taking things day by day and wants to play, but was unable to give a concrete answer about whether he will. Wilson added that imaging on his calf showed "good news" after he aggravated it during or before Thursday's practice.
On the subject of possibly playing Sunday, Wilson also told Pryor: "I'm trying to get my body ready to go and rock and roll.
