PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Only three are ruled out for the Steelers Sunday in Atlanta and while one is named Wilson, it’s not the quarterback.

Quarterback Russell Wilson was officially limited in practice for a second straight day and listed as questionable for Sunday in Atlanta. Justin Fields said he’s preparing as if he would be the starter. Wilson said he’s going to do what he can to be out there.

Receiver Roman Wilson (ankle), who hasn’t gone through a full practice since July in training camp was limited again and ruled out. He is making progress. Guard Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) was already ruled out by Mike Tomlin and rookie defensive lineman Logan Lee is out with a calf injury.

Offensive tackle Troy Fautanu has been cleared to play after suffering a knee injury during the first preseason game. He went through his first two full practices since his knee injury on Thursday and Friday. Whether the rookie first-round pick starts is still very much a question.

The following were at least limited at some point during practice this week, but are full go to play against the Falcons

·      Tailback Jaylen Warren (hamstring)

·      CB Cory Trice, Jr. (groin)

·      TE Darnell Washington (knee)

Falcons have only ruled cornerback Antonio Hamilton, Sr. (groin) as out.
All others who missed some practice time, including tight end Kyle Pitts, are cleared to play.
