Steelers' Russell Wilson: Looks to be starter for Week 1
Wilson completed both of his passes for 26 yards in Saturday's 24-17 preseason loss to the Lions.

Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, coach Mike Tomlin declined to name his starting quarterback for Week 1 against Atlanta, but it's expected that Wilson will get the nod.
