Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson suffered an ankle injury after getting tackled on a jet sweep during seven shots at training camp today, and after practice, Mike Tomlin confirmed that Wilson was injured and that the team will have more information. Today was Pittsburgh’s first padded practice.
“It was unfortunate, we had an injury today, man. Roman hurt his ankle on a tackle and so we’ll have more information regarding the length of his status in terms of how long he might be out,” Tomlin said via Steelers.com.
A third-round pick out of Michigan, Wilson had impressed early in camp and was looking to earn a role in Pittsburgh’s thin wide receiver room.
