Mike Tomlin only sought to ‘create a little misery’ for Russell Wilson, Steelers offense

Pittsburgh Steelers training camp reconvenes Tuesday and Russell Wilson is expected to take part at some point this week.

It seems that Mike Tomlin wasn’t fooling when he said he wanted to watch Wilson squirm.

“It was my decision to sit [Wilson] down today, create a little short-term discomfort for him, not allowing a small problem to become a bigger problem,” Tomlin told Steelers reporters on Thursday. “He wanted to [practice], and he was probably capable, but I’m getting to know him, and I just chose to create a little misery for him and the offensive unit.”

Last week marked the start of Wilson’s 13th training camp. The man knows how to ramp up to regular-season form. Now he just needs to do it with another new offense and another new offensive coordinator.
