PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is dealing with calf tightness again, putting his status for the opener at Atlanta in question. Coach Mike Tomlin said Wilson was limited in practice with the Week 1 kickoff less than 72 hours away. The 35-year-old spent a significant portion of training camp dealing with a calf injury. Tomlin said the tweak Wilson felt Thursday was in the same calf. If Wilson can’t play, the Steelers will turn to Justin Fields, who was acquired from Chicago in March.
