Takes first-team reps Wilson took the first-team reps at Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Wilson is being considered for the Week 7 start, but the Steelers coach either hasn't decided yet or doesn't want to announce it, telling reporters Wednesday that any decisions he's made are staying in-house. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network suggested Tuesday that Wilson is "in line to make his season debut" Sunday night against the Jets, even though Justin Fields has gone 4-2 as the starter while accounting for 11 total TDs (six passing, five rushing).

On track to start Week 7 Wilson will receive first-team reps in practice this week and is in line to start Sunday's game against the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The report came just minutes before head coach Mike Tomlin held his weekly Tuesday weekly press conference and told assembled media that Wilson was merely "in consideration" for the Week 7 start, per Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site. Tomlin added that both Wilson and Justin Fields will get reps in practice this week before a decision on a starter for Sunday's game is made, but assuming Pelissero's report comes to pass, Wilson looks like he'll get the chance to make his Steelers debut. If Wilson does receive the starting nod, he'll likely need a strong outing against the Jets to solidify his spot atop the depth chart moving forward. While Wilson missed the first five games of the season with a calf injury before he was active as the No. 2 quarterback for Week 6, Fields guided Pittsburgh to a 4-2 record while completing 66.3 percent of his passes for 6.9 yards per attempt and committing just two turnovers. Wilson had been named the starter heading into Week 1 before aggravating the calf issue in practice leading up to the season opener, but neither he nor Fields had performed especially well in the preseason.

Impact After five straight weeks serving as the Steelers' emergency No. 3 quarterback, Wilson -- who practiced fully this past week -- has been deemed active Sunday, which sets the stage for him to work as the team's No. 2 signal caller behind Justin Fields, who has led the team to a 3-2 record to date. With Wilson not among the team's inactives versus Las Vegas, Kyle Allen is this week's inactive emergency No. 3 QB for Pittsburgh.
