Wilson (calf), who was limited in practice Friday, is listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Falcons, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Wilson was also limited one day earlier after experiencing calf tightness at practice. "I just felt a little tight (on Thursday)," Wilson noted Friday. "I wanted to be smart about it. Obviously, we play the game on Sunday, I'm hoping I get to be in it. Just trying to try and get ready to go." At this stage, it looks as though Wilson's Week 1 status could emerge as a game-day call, though there should be added context on that front prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's unavailable for the contest, Justin Fields would draw the start at QB versus Atlanta.
