the lawyer: Quote: Four months after he was badly burned in a fire in his home, Steelers running backs coach Kirby Wilson is back at work, on the practice field for the team’s rookie minicamp this weekend.
Wilson, who is dividing his time between working for the Steelers and rehabbing after he was burned on 45 percent of his body, did not talk to the media this weekend. But Steelers players said Wilson seemed enthusiastic to be there.
“I told him, ‘God bless you that you’re still here and I’m praying for you,’” Steelers rookie running back Chris Rainey told WPXI. “He’s glad to be back and he’s just ready to work and I’m right with him.”
The 50-year-old Wilson is heading into his sixth season on the Steelers’ staff.

Very happy to see a real life miracle resulting in the proverbial Happy Ending. To coach Wilson's continued good health. /salute/  _________________ Honor the Fallen. http://www.militarytimes.com/valor/

Wow, much quicker recovery than I expected. This is the first pic I've seen of him since the fire... judging by his ear and glove.

The glove is the first thing I picked up on....but damn glad to see him up & going. How's that for being "married to your job"? A fucking fire and hospital stay can't keep him away.

To his continued good health.
If you are a running back on this roster, you are going to have to play through pain because the man in charge is. Welcome back Mr. Wilson you were solely missed.
