Russell Wilson maintains training routine ahead of NFL broadcasting debut
Summary

Former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson shared a series of strength and conditioning videos on Instagram, signaling his continued focus on physical fitness. Despite the 37-year-old moving to a role as an analyst for CBS Sports' "The NFL Today" this season, his workout intensity remains unchanged from his playing days. Wilson transitioned to broadcasting after a difficult 2025 season with the New York Giants, where he lost his starting position to Jaxson Dart. Although he declined an opportunity to serve as an NFL backup quarterback this year, he stopped short of using the word retirement in his public statements. This ambiguity leaves open the possibility of a return should a team reach out during the season. For now, Wilson is scheduled to appear alongside James Brown, Bill Cowher, and Nate Burleson in the CBS studio.
