Russell Wilson looks healthy enough, but what's the real story?

Russell Wilson looks healthy enough, but what's the real story?

“To Russ or not to Russ, that is the question” (Shakespeare perhaps?)

What the hell is going on with Russell Wilson's calf injury? It appeared that Wilson was simply held out of the Steelers' regular season debut as a precautionary measure, but missed the next three straight weeks. Although Justin Fields looked depleted in the first two weeks of the season, Wilson continued to nurse his injury, while the latter gained the team's trust with back-to-back top performances in Weeks 3 and 4.

Russell Wilson isn't the only player with the injury rating that has fans scratching their heads, as many are also wondering why WR Roman Wilson didn't play either:

Could this be some kind of PR stunt for the Steelers' quarterback, with the team offering Wilson an alternative option to avoid the humiliation of losing the quarterback battle to Fields?

We may never find out exactly what happens to the two injured Wilsons in Pittsburgh, but Mike Tomlin likes to keep his cards close to his chest.
