Could play Week 1 Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism Tuesday about Wilson's (ankle) chances of suiting up in Sunday's season opener versus the Falcons, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.c... Impact Wilson missed most of training camp and all of the preseason while recovering from a left ankle sprain, but the rookie third-round pick out of Michigan looks like he'll be able to practice in some capacity during the upcoming week. The Steelers will likely wait and see how Wilson fares during practice before making a call on his status for Sunday's game, but even if he's active for the opener, he's unlikely to be in store for a major role right out of the gate due to the time he missed in the summer. George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin are listed as the Steelers' three starting receivers on the team's first unofficial depth chart of the season that was released Tuesday, with Wilson being listed as Jefferson's backup, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com.
