    Steelers QB Russell Wilson's injury appears to have been overhyped

    The media turned nothing into something. Shocker. Russell Wilson’s calf injury dominated the headlines as the dog days of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp commenced in Latrobe. Fans’ concerns about the quarterback situation intensified while Justin Fields rose in the ranks.

    The injury, however, appears to have been overhyped. After all, as Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac noted in a post on X, Wilson did participate in some capacity while nursing his calf.

    “He does every QB drill in practice, including dropback and pocket footwork, and throws before and after every session,” Dulac tweeted.

    Mike Tomlin only wanted to “create a little misery” for Wilson and the Steelers offense.

    Wilson is expected to increase participation as training camp heads into its second week on Tuesday.
