Russell Wilson to make his preseason debut when the Steelers host the Bills
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Russell Wilson is expected to be in the lineup when the Pittsburgh Steelers host Buffalo on Saturday night. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that Wilson will run out with the starters as long as he doesn’t have any setbacks from a calf injury that has slowed him during training camp. “He’s had a couple really good days (and) with each passing day (the injury) is less of an issue, and so we look forward to him participating in this home venue,” Tomlin said. Pittsburgh signed the nine-time Pro Bowler to a one-year deal in March. Tomlin has said for months that the 35-year-old Wilson is in “pole position” to be the starter when the regular season begins. That hasn’t changed even with Wilson ceding plenty of reps to Justin Fields during camp to deal with a balky calf.
