steelers qb russell wilson is questionable for opener at atlanta with a calf injury

The Pittsburgh Steelers thought they settled their quarterback competition when coach Mike Tomlin anointed Russell Wilson the starter for Sunday's opener in Atlanta.

Turns out, maybe not.

The Steelers listed Wilson as "questionable" for Week 1 after the 35-year-old aggravated a calf injury in practice on Thursday, potentially opening the door for Justin Fields to get the nod against the Falcons.

Neither player offered any hints at the plan, with both saying they are preparing as if they will play.

"I'm trying to get my body ready to go and rock and roll," said Wilson, who declined to specify which calf is hurt. "So we're doing everything we can."
