Pittsburgh Steelers rookie WR Roman Wilson is unlikely to play against the New York Jets, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on X. It seemed to be trending that way all week, but now we have confirmation.

Wilson was the Steelers’ third-round draft pick, but suffered an ankle injury on the first day of padded practice at training camp. That held him out of the rest of training camp, including all three preseason games, and he wasn’t able to get his first helmet on game day until Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
