When the Pittsburgh Steelers arrived at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA, for training camp, everyone was ready to watch the quarterbacks. Unfortunately, the Steelers and fans alike were robbed of that opportunity at the start. QB Russell Wilson’s calf injury allowed Justin Fields plenty of reps with the starting offense, and he impressed.

However, once Wilson got back to full capacity, he did as well. Steeler Depot’s Alex Kozora recapped Monday’s practice, saying, “It felt like a real duel.” That performance continued over the following two practices. Wilson appears to have proven why the Steelers pursued him in just a short period of full practice.
