LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Russell Wilson stepped up under centre, barking out the play call. He took a snap and turned to his left to hand it off to reserve running back Aaron Shampklin, then backpedalled quickly so as to remove himself from the play.

“It’s good to be back out here again with the guys, putting the helmet on,” said Wilson, who did not take part in any full-squad drills over the first four days of camp because of a calf injury. “Just doing the quarterback drills, the fundamental work, some of the handoffs. But being in there with the fellas is always the best part. It was a good day, for sure.”
That compelled coach Mike Tomlin to sit Wilson when practices started, and that persisted all throughout the four-day acclimation period to start camp before a day off Monday leading into Tuesday’s first full-contact practice of camp. Wilson had slowly been ramping up his throwing and agility and footwork drills over the past four days. He did not miss on a throw during 7-on-7 play Tuesday, connecting on a slant to George Pickens and a throw over the middle to Scotty Miller before his highlight: a long pass about 40 yards downfield that landed into the waiting hands of tight end Connor Heyward in stride.
