PITTSBURGH -- A week removed from aggravating his training camp calf injury, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson said he's "getting closer and closer" to a return.

"I'm just trying to be smart," Wilson said following Thursday's practice. "Got to do a lot of work today on the field and everything else, throwing and all that, so just trying to be smart." Wilson didn't play in the season opener in Atlanta and was limited in each practice following the aggravation.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday the staff was being intentional and cautious in their approach to working Wilson back in.
