Wilson (calf) hopes to play Sunday against the Falcons, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson, who aggravated a previous calf injury Thursday, says that he's taking it day-by-day ahead of the contest. When asked if he expected to start Sunday, Wilson told Pryor, "I'm trying to get my body ready to go and rock and roll. Just doing everything we can." If the QB -- who the Steelers figure to list as questionable -- is unavailable this weekend, Justin Fields would be in line to start in his place versus Atlanta.
