The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback is hoping for the best while dealing with an injury.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are working through a calf injury with quarterback Russell Wilson, and while the two are stuck in a difficult situation heading into Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, the QB is remaining positive.
Wilson isn't ready to give up yet, though. Speaking with the media about the situation, he explained that the training staff is working with him to try and find a way for him to be on the field in Week 1. Wilson said he tried to "focus on the throws" during practice and make the mental aspect of his game as sharp as possible. He confirmed he wasn't able to do much during team drills, but did participate when he could.
"Just felt a little tight," Wilson explained. "I just wanted to be smart about it, obviously. Play the game on Sunday, so I'm hoping I get to be in it, obviously. But just trying to get ready to go."
