Russell Wilson missed the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ first game of the season with a calf injury, but the veteran quarterback insists he is trending in the right direction ahead of Week 2.
Wilson told reporters on Thursday that he feels he is getting “closer and closer” to being fully cleared. He also spoke about wanting to “be smart” and not risk aggravating his injury further, which is the same thing he said last week.
“I feel like I’m getting closer and closer. I’m just trying to be smart and got to do a lot of work today on the field and everything else, throwing and all that, so just trying to be smart,” Wilson said.
