LATROBE, Pa. -- After waking up with calf tightness Thursday morning, Russell Wilson was relegated to being a spectator in his first training camp practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 35-year-old quarterback alerted the coaching staff to the issue, and coach Mike Tomlin made the call to hold Wilson out. "Starts aren't always ideal, but that's like life, man," Tomlin said after practice. "Russ woke up today, his calf was tight. It was my decision to sit him down today, create a little short-term discomfort for him, not allowing a small problem to become a bigger problem.
