The news of Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback Russell Wilson being limited on Thursday during practice was rather shocking and concerning, considering the calf injury popped up again just a few weeks after training camp in which he stated he was “ahead of schedule” in his recovery.
And the fact that it comes just a few days before the season opener on the road against the Atlanta Falcons.
Many downplayed the limited practice Wilson had, including head coach Mike Tomlin, who stated to reporters Thursday that he had no long-term concerns with Wilson’s injury and that the Steelers were being overly cautious, but the news following the calf injury isn’t as comforting.
