After missing a handful of practices in training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe and sitting out the first preseason game while still working his way back from a calf injury, veteran quarterback Russell Wilson will have all eyes on him Saturday in his debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Wilson, who signed a one-year deal in free agency to join the Steelers, will start Saturday’s preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium, getting his first taste of in-stadium action with his new teammates.
Though he remains the presumed starting quarterback for the Steelers under head coach Mike Tomlin moving forward into the regular season, the pressure is on Wilson to make a statement — at least externally — in his preseason debut.
