Pittsburgh Steelers rookie WR Roman Wilson will make his NFL debut Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports.
It’s something we suspected and wrote about this morning following the team’s Saturday elevations that did not include a wide receiver. With RB/WR/KR Cordarrelle Patterson ruled out due to an ankle injury, the Steelers needed an extra receiver. That leads Wilson to getting a helmet and active for tomorrow’s game.
Wilson spent the first five weeks inactive. While that caused frustration among fans, he missed nearly the entire summer with an ankle injury he hurt on the first padded practice.
