The Steelers’ QB is dealing with a calf issue
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is not practicing for the second straight day to begin training camp. Wilson woke up yesterday dealing with soreness in his calf, which prompted head coach Mike Tomlin to play it safe and hold him out of practice. Tomlin said Wilson would be day-to-day with the calf issue.
Wilson was on the field in a Steelers baseball cap watching on, but not partaking in drills or live action, and that appears to be the case today, as well.

If all goes the same as Day 1, Justin Fields will be getting all the first-team reps while Kyle Allen and John Rhys Plumlee get second and third-team reps, respectively.
Fields took advantage of his opportunity on Thursday, connecting with Van Jefferson on a long touchdown and hitting George Pickens for a big gain, as well, during 7-on-7s.
