Pittsburgh Steelers rookie WR Roman Wilson is in a boot after suffering an ankle sprain during practice on Monday, head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Thursday.
“He can be characterized as week-to-week at this juncture. We got him walking around in a boot for precaution,” Tomlin said via Steelers.com.
Wilson got tackled by CB Anthony Averett on a jet sweep during Seven Shots in practice and left on a cart. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport said the Steelers will be cautious in Wilson’s rehab and that it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him out until the week leading up to Week 1, as that’s the target date for his return.
