Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson did not practice during the team’s first training camp practice on Thursday because he woke up with a calf issue, Mike Tomlin told reporters, including ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, on Thursday.
Mike Tomlin says Russell Wilson woke up this morning with calf tightness, and it was a coaches decision to sit him today and create “short-term misery” for Wilson. Tomlin says Wilson wanted to practice this morning, but he held him out.
