Roman Wilson - Page 8 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Limited in Wednesday's practice Wilson (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Impact Wilson missed most of training camp and preseason due to a left ankle sprain, and while the rookie third-round draft pick has made some progress in his recovery, his status for Sunday's season opener against the Falcons remains up in the air. If Wilson's able to upgrade to full practice participation Thursday or Friday, he would likely avoid Pittsburgh's final injury report, which would pave the way for the wide receiver to make his NFL debut Sunday.

Impact Wilson missed most of training camp and all of the preseason while recovering from a left ankle sprain, but the rookie third-round pick out of Michigan looks like he'll be able to practice in some capacity during the upcoming week. The Steelers will likely wait and see how Wilson fares during practice before making a call on his status for Sunday's game, but even if he's active for the opener, he's unlikely to be in store for a major role right out of the gate due to the time he missed in the summer. George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin are listed as the Steelers' three starting receivers on the team's first unofficial depth chart of the season that was released Tuesday, with Wilson being listed as Jefferson's backup, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com.

Nearing return to practice? Wilson (ankle) did prep work with his teammates Monday but didn't actually practice, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.

Impact The rookie third-round pick sprained his left ankle during the first week of training camp and used a protective boot for a few days thereafter. Wilson did some individual drills last week, suggesting he has a chance to be ready for the regular-season opener Sept. 8 against Atlanta, although the month of missed practice presumably ends any hope of being a Week 1 starter. Van Jefferson has taken most of the first-team reps opposite George Pickens this summer, including during preseason games, with Calvin Austin mostly working the slot as Pittsburgh's No. 3 receiver.

Hopes to return soon Wilson (ankle) acknowledged Wednesday that he won't be available for Saturday's preseason finale against the Lions, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact That said, Wilson did indicate that he hopes to be back soon. The 2024 third-rounder suffered an ankle injury at the end of July, and at that time he was viewed as week-to-week. Given that he's still sidelined, the rookie's Week 1 status is unclear, but once he's healthy Wilson will look to secure a steady role in a Pittsburgh WR corps led by George Pickens.

Sheds walking boot Wilson was spotted in training camp without a walking boot Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Impact Wilson sprained his ankle during practice Tuesday and subsequently donned a walking boot, though doing so was deemed a precaution. Head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Thursday that the rookie wideout is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks, so he's unlikely to play in the team's first exhibition game Aug. 9. However, the fact that he's no longer wearing a boot (Saunders indicated that Wilson is wearing a wrap instead) is a positive sign that the receiver will be ready to play Week 1 of the regular season.

Impact Wilson, who the report notes is wearing a boot on his left ankle, thus appears to be on track to miss the Steelers' preseason opener, at a minimum. Once the 2024 third-rounder is able to return to practice, he'll resume competing with Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin and Quez Watkins for slotting behind the team's top WR, George Pickens.

Avoids serious injury Wilson (ankle) is expected to be ready for the start of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact It sounds like Wilson should be considered week-to-week, as the Steelers will ease him back into the swing of things after he sustained an ankle injury in camp Tuesday. The 2024 third-rounder is expected to compete with the likes of Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin and Quez Watkins for reps at receiver behind George Pickens, but a lengthy absence could hurt Wilson's ability to build chemistry with Russell Wilson (calf) and Justin Fields.

Injures ankle Tuesday Wilson sustained an ankle injury during Tuesday's practice, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, coach Mike Tomlin noted that Wilson is being evaluated to determine the severity of the issue and how much time he might miss. Once the 2024 third-rounder returns to the field, he'll continue to compete with Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin and Quez Watkins for slotting behind George Pickens.

Exits practice with possible injury Wilson left Tuesday's practice on a cart after he suffered an injury, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's not yet clear if the injury is considered serious or might impact Wilson's availability beyond the next few days. He's one of the many players competing for roles behind No. 1 receiver George Pickens, with the other top candidates to start being Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin. As a rookie third-round pick with 4.39 speed, Wilson offers the highest ceiling in the team's WR room besides Pickens in terms of both real-life and fantasy value.
