When the Pittsburgh Steelers hit the practice field Thursday at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe for the first day of training camp, it was a bit of a shock to see veteran quarterback Russell Wilson sitting out of practice.
Turns out, Wilson is dealing with a calf issue, which has head coach Mike Tomlin being a bit cautious with his starting quarterback early in training camp.
After missing his second straight day of practice Friday, Wilson spoke with reporters and revealed he tweaked his calf just a little bit doing sled pushes during the conditioning test under the new Strength & Conditioning staff, which has him on the shelf to start training camp.
