The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Denver Broncos in Colorado on Sunday afternoon.

Coming into this game, quarterback Russell Wilson and wide receiver Roman Wilson are listed as day-to-day on the injury report. Earlier in the week, head coach Mike Tomlin said they were preparing for Justin Fields to start at quarterback for Week 2, but they haven’t ruled Wilson out.

The Steelers expect rookie first-round pick Troy Fautanu to start at right tackle.

The Denver Broncos place rookie running Audric Estime on the injured reserve list and have ruled out rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele for this game. Tackle Garrett Bolles, who was limited in practice this week, is expected to play.
