After waking up with a calf issue and missing the Pittsburgh Steelers opening practice on Thursday, QB Russell Wilson is again not currently participating in Pittsburgh’s second practice on Friday, per Alex Kozora.
Kozora said that Wilson stretched but he didn’t jog with the team and isn’t going through individual drills.
Russell Wilson (calf) slightly more active today than yesterday, participated in the stretch line, but did not jog with team and hasn’t had a helmet on all day. Not going through individual drills.
Justin Fields will be QB1 today. #Steelers

Wilson was put in pole position to start by head coach Mike Tomlin, who confirmed his stance on Wednesday that Wilson would be Pittsburgh’s starter to open camp.
