Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said on Friday that he's unsure if second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) will play again this year.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he will list quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) as questionable for the Week 2 game in Denver against the Broncos.
