‘I Wasn’t Thinking About It’: Russell Wilson Says Calf ‘Felt Great’ In Extended Game Action

Russell Wilson made his debut with the Pittsburgh Steelers in their second preseason game on Saturday night against the Buffalo Bills. He was held out of the first preseason game as a precaution while they continued to play it safe with his calf injury.

That injury, suffered while pushing a sled during the conditioning test the day before camp began, kept him out of the first week of training camp. The Steelers slowly ramped his participation up over the last week or two, and he has been running first-team reps for the last week.

Wilson was only meant to play four drives against the Bills based on what Mike Tomlin said in his press conference on Thursday, but he ended up playing five.
