Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. HC Mike Tomlin admitted Friday that Wilson's chances of starting that game are "less than questionable," per ESPN's Brooke Pryor. QB Justin Fields is in line to get another start and has exciting rushing upside against a bad Denver run defense.
Steelers HC Mike Tomlin suggested Tuesday that RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) still isn't at 100%. Per PennLive's Nick Farabaugh, Tomlin said Warren is "healthy enough" but that it'd be a "slippery slope" to say that Warren is fully healthy.
Steelers HC Mike Tomlin was asked about the starting QB for week 2 and said the team was preparing for QB Justin Fields to be their QB.

Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) is inactive for today’s opener vs. the Falcons. He was pushing to play, but the team will hold him out after he aggravated his calf injury in practice this week.

See where they all sit in the Week 1 Rankings.
The Steelers are expected to decide on QB Russell Wilson's status for the opener vs. the Falcons today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

We continue to project Fields to be under center.

But Rapoport notes that Wilson didn't do much in Friday's practice, while Fields took all the first-team reps.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 1 injury report after putting in full practices on Thursday and Friday.

Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. He got in three limited practices this week, so he has a good chance to make his NFL debut in Week 2.

Warren sits lower than usual at 36th in the Week 1 RB Rankings.
Jets HC Robert Saleh said Thursday that WR Mike Williams (knee) will play Week 1 but also suggested that Williams won't play a full snapload. That jibes with the team's plans for Williams all along.

Steelers QB Russell Wilson will start against the Falcons in Week 1, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer.
