Russell Wilson missed the first six weeks of the season after aggravating a preseason calf injury that he hurt during the team’s conditioning test. Wilson said after the injury happened that he hurt it pushing a sled, and he further clarified during an appearance today on The Pat McAfee Show and said the drill was to push a heavy sled as fast as the team could when he hurt his calf.

“We were just pushing this heavy sled as fast as we could, just doing this workout testing thing we were doing. It was unfortunate,” Wilson said.
