Details Revealed about Injury to Steelers QB Russell Wilson
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Updates: Details have been revealed about what happened to Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson on Thursday.
New details have emerged in the injury to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson.
Wilson first injured his calf during the first day of training training camp while pushing a blocking sled during the team’s run test, and missed two weeks of camp and the Steelers’ first preseason game while rehabbing that injury.
But Wilson played in the second and third preseason games, and has not complained about any ill effects from the injury since then.
So when he was limited in practice on Thursday after reporting calf tightness, red flags went up. ESPN’s Dan Graziano gave some clarity to what happened on Thursday in Friday’s episode of Unsportsmanlike.

According to Graziano, Wilson took walkthroughs with the first team before practice, and participated in individual work in the early portion of practice, but then left the field and Justin Fields was leading the team for the first team period of practice.
Wilson later returned to the practice field, talking with a trainer, but did not participate in any team drills.
So it sure seems that Wilson aggravated the injury at some point, either during the individual portion of practice on Thursday, or he did it sometime before that, tried to practice, and was unable to get through it fully.
Wilson was in the Steelers locker room after practice with no brace, wrap, ice, or visible bruising on either calf. It hasn’t even been reported which calf he has injured.
We might get more clarity on Wilson’s status when the Steelers have their final practice of week on Friday morning.
