The Facts:
Wilson is taking Ward's place in the lineup as Pro Bowl receiver's holdout continues with no word of any progress in negotiations. While the Steelers ended negotiations for a contract extension after Ward did not report to training camp Sunday, Ward's agent said he is ready to talk if the Steelers change their mind. "We haven't closed any doors," Eugene Parker said. "They may have, but we haven't."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Wilson, the only unrestricted free agent signed by the team, will take Ward's spot at flanker. Antwaan Randle El will open at split end, a job held by Plaxico Burress before he fled in free agency. The two receivers were supposed to compete for Burress' old role. ... One of them likely will move to the slot when they use three receivers and Lee Mays then would likely play on the outside -- until Ward returns.
