Russell Wilson's debut with the Pittsburgh Steelers will have to wait.
Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler who signed with the Steelers after being cut loose by the Denver Broncos, was ruled out of the season opener Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons because of a calf injury.
Another newcomer to the Steelers, Justin Fields, was set to start in Wilson's place.
The 35-year-old Wilson earned the starting job during the preseason, only to aggravate a calf injury in practice on Thursday.
Wilson said he "felt a little funny" during individual drills. Coach Mike Tomlin pulled him out of the team portion of practice as a precaution.
