On the first day of padded practice during training camp, third-round rookie WR Roman Wilson suffered an ankle injury that held him out of the rest of camp and the preseason. He didn’t start practicing in a limited capacity until last week, but he never progressed to a full practice and was ruled out for Week 1 on Friday.
According to Mike Tomlin, Wilson’s return into the fold could be soon.
“Expect an uptick in the participation of guys like Roman Wilson, who’s working his way back to us,” Tomlin said Tuesday during his weekly press conference in a video posted on the Steelers’ YouTube page.
