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.

Steelers' Russell Wilson: Ready to ramp up activity
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Wilson (calf) will have a "strong work day" at practice including reps from a live pocket, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Tomlin said he's still preparing for Justin Fields to start Sunday's game against the Cowboys, per Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site, but it sounds like Wilson will be closer to being cleared for the official backup role in Week 5, rather than having to act as Pittsburgh's emergency No. 3 quarterback for a fifth straight contest. Returning to 11-on-11 reps represents a notable step in the right direction for Wilson, who has yet to put any pressure on Fields as the starter. Tomlin's comments indicate Wilson has been limited to 7-on-7 work at practice in recent weeks. Wednesday's first official injury report of Week 5 will reveal whether Wilson has managed to upgrade to 'full' practice status, or whether the veteran signal-caller still officially remains limited.

Steelers' Russell Wilson: Questionable for Sunday
Wilson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Wilson, who remained limited at practice this week, has been inactive as the Steelers' emergency No. 3 quarterback for the team's first three games this season. It remains to be seen if that will be the case again this weekend, but either way Justin Fields is on track to make his fourth consecutive start at QB for the 3-0 Steelers, per Dale Lolley of the team's official site.

Steelers' Russell Wilson: Limited in practice
Wilson (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Wilson's injured calf reportedly is improving, but he still hasn't managed full practice participation since Week 1 and may have to settle for a backup role to Justin Fields once he's 100 percent healthy. The Steelers are preparing Fields to make his fourth consecutive start this Sunday at Indianapolis.
