For most of camp, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback “battle” was a one-sided affair. Justin Fields throwing, Russell Wilson watching. You know the story. Wilson suffers a calf injury during the conditioning test and the Steelers play it safe for the next two weeks, inching Wilson’s participation along at tectonic plate pace.
It hasn’t been until the last few practices that Wilson acted, or was permitted to act, fully healthy. And it wasn’t until Monday that both quarterbacks could lay down on the gas pedal and have their first spirited competition of camp. It became a heck of a show.
