The Pittsburgh Steelers only signed Russell Wilson to a veteran salary benefit deal so their financial stakes are low. Wilson is, however, a major personality, and that is a fact of which he is well aware. He came to the Steelers with the intention of restarting his career, but so far he is warming the bench.
While he only has his calf to blame for that, Russell Wilson surely understands that may change. If he continues to miss much more time and the Steelers continue to win with Justin Fields at quarterback while protecting the football, he could easily lose his starting job when healthy.
