After practicing in full last Thursday and Friday ahead of the Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson appeared in line to make his NFL debut.
But then, before kickoff on Sunday, Wilson was inactive once again, continuing a trend for the young receiver.
Wilson suffered an ankle injury on July 30, the first day of padded practices at training camp for the Steelers, which kept him out the rest of training camp and the preseason. He’s returned to practice in limited fashion in recent weeks, and then went fully on Thursday and Friday last week, but that still wasn’t enough for him to get a hat on game day.
