Russell Wilson is expected start at QB when the Pittsburgh Steelers host Buffalo in their second preseason game on Saturday.
Russell Wilson is expected to be in the lineup when the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that Wilson will run out with the starters as long as he doesn't have any setbacks from a calf injury that has slowed him during training camp. 'He’s had a couple really good days with each passing day is less of an issue, and so we look forward to him participating in this home venue,' Tomlin said.
Tomlin has said for months that the 35-year-old Wilson is in 'pole position' to be the starter when the regular season begins. That hasn't changed even with Wilson ceding plenty of reps to Justin Fields during camp to deal with a balky calf. Tomlin expects the starters to play about four series against Buffalo, though he stressed that the plan wasn't 'etched in stone.
