Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson missed Week 1 after re-aggravating a calf injury suffered earlier this summer in practice last week, but Wilson feels like he’s getting closer to a return to the field. Speaking to reporters today, Wilson said he’s being smart by not rushing back from the injury.
“I feel like I’m getting closer and closer. I’m just trying to be smart. Got to do a lot of work today on the field, and everything else throwing and all that, so just trying to be smart,” Wilson said via 93.7 The Fan on Twitter.
He also said that he’s not paying too much attention to potentially missing Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, the team that released him and is paying the majority of his salary this season.
