Despite Pittsburgh Steelers LB Payton Wilson being cleared from concussion protocol, he did not play in the team’s preseason finale against the Detroit Lions. Wilson did not log a snap in the first half of the game while the KDKA broadcast mentioned just before halftime that Wilson was not playing.
Wilson suffered a concussion in last Saturday’s preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills. Woozy, he stayed down on the field for a few moments before being assisted to the sideline.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, Wilson said he was 100 percent and cleared by doctors. But he may not have gotten enough practice reps for the team to feel comfortable playing him against Detroit.
