Russell Wilson's Calf Injury Not Serious; Got Hurt During Steelers Conditioning Test

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin provided an update on Russell Wilson's calf injury that prevented the quarterback from taking the field during the past two practices.

Tomlin said on Friday that he kept the quarterback out for precautionary reasons "to keep a minor thing from becoming major."

Wilson told reporters that he suffered the injury while pushing a sled during Wednesday's conditioning test.

Despite this minor setback, Wilson has been notably durable throughout his career.

In fact, he didn't miss a single game in any of his first nine seasons and enters the 2024 campaign having started at least 14 games every year of his career.
