Steelers' Russell Wilson: Expected to be backup Week 6
Coach Mike Tomlin said Friday that Wilson's expected to be active and serve as Justin Fields' backup Sunday against the Raiders, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson has been practicing without limitations in the lead-up to Sunday's game, putting him in position to be active for the first time this season after missing the first five games due to a calf injury. The veteran quarterback may eventually get a chance to supplant Fields, but Fields remains the starter for now after leading Pittsburgh to a 3-2 start.

Steelers' Russell Wilson: Logs full practice
Wilson (calf) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson took part in his first full practice since he aggravated his calf injury Sept. 5. The veteran signal-caller took reps with the second-team offense, but head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he will leave the door open for the 35-year-old to get some first-team work later this week. While quarterback Justin Fields seems highly likely to make another start this Sunday at Las Vegas, it won't come as any surprise if Wilson takes over at some point before the end of the season after winning the starting job coming out of the preseason.

Steelers' Russell Wilson: Working with second unit
Wilson (calf) is scheduled to be a full participant in practice Wednesday and will open Week 6 prep with the second-team offense, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
According to Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site, coach Mike Tomlin added that while Wilson will open the practice week with the backups so as not to disrupt Justin Fields' preparation, the coach is leaving the door open for Wilson to potentially take reps with the first team later on in the week. Fields appears set to pick up another start Sunday against the Raiders, but Tomlin has yet to make that official. Wilson was named the Steelers' starting quarterback coming out of the preseason, but he has yet to make his team debut after aggravating a calf injury in practice leading up to Week 1.

Steelers' Russell Wilson: Remains emergency No. 3 QB
Wilson (calf) is inactive as the Steelers' emergency No. 3 quarterback for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Wilson has resumed mixing into 11-on-11 drills as he ramps things up in his recovery from a lingering calf injury, but he remained listed as a limited participant in practice this past week. Against Dallas, he'll remain the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback for the fifth straight contest, with Justin Fields slated to get another start at QB for the 3-1 Steelers and Kyle Allen available in a backup capacity.

Steelers' Russell Wilson: Questionable for Sunday
Wilson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Wilson remained a limited practice participant this past week, though the QB, who has resumed mixing into 11-on-11 drills, noted that he's "definitely ramping it up. It's been good. I feel great, and I just keep getting better every day." As Sunday's contest approaches, Justin Fields is poised to make his fifth straight start for the Steelers, while it remains to be seen if Wilson is ready to back him up or will remain inactive as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback this weekend.

Steelers' Russell Wilson: Remains limited in practice
Wilson (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Wilson said Thursday that he's ramped up his workload in practice this week, including some involvement in 11-on-11 drills the past two days, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. However, the extra reps haven't translated to a change in his listing on Steelers' practice reports; Wilson has now been listed as "limited" for 13 consecutive practices. Justin Fields remains on track to start Sunday's game against the Cowboys, and since he's thus far guided Pittsburgh to a 3-1 record while completing 70.6 percent of his passes for 7.6 yards per attempt, he seems likely to stick atop the depth chart even once Wilson is deemed 100 percent healthy. For his part, head coach Mike Tomlin has been adamant that a starter won't be named until Wilson is fully recovered from the calf issue that has kept him inactive for each of Pittsburgh's first four games.

Steelers' Russell Wilson: Remains limited in practice
Wilson (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Wilson would ramp up his activity level this week, doing more "live pocket" work during practice. Wilson may soon be ready to step in for Kyle Allen as the No. 2 quarterback, after serving as the emergency No. 3 for the first month of the season. Justin Fields' solid performance to date has him securely in the starting job for now, even though Tomlin has publicly been non-committal on a starter until Wilson is fully healthy.
