The Pittsburgh Steelers changed their conditioning staff this year and it nearly cost them Russell Wilson. The veteran quarterback suffered a calf injury during a conditioning test, and it has kept him out of four practices. He has yet to participate meaningfully on the field in training camp, because he had to push a blocking sled.
One wonders if this incident caused an immediate reconsideration of the Steelers’ methods, as Ray Fittipaldo suggests. One can reasonably say that it’s probably not useful to know how well Russell Wilson can push a blocking sled.
“I’m guessing it’s not gonna happen again”, Fittipaldo said on KDKA’s No.
