Under the bright lights at Acrisure Stadium Saturday night against the Buffalo Bills, veteran quarterback Russell Wilson will make his first appearance as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, starting the game against the familiar foe in the Steelers’ second preseason game of the year.
Though it is just a preseason matchup, it is a much-anticipated one, with Wilson getting the start and seeing his first extended action with the Steelers. Throughout much of training camp, Wilson was limited due to a calf injury suffered during the conditioning test. This injury led to him missing the first few practices of camp entirely and then being limited until, most recently, missing the first preseason game in the process.
