‘We’ll See’ If Roman Wilson Is Ready To Roll Week 1: ‘That’s What This Week Of Work Is About’, Tomlin Says

When will Pittsburgh Steelers fans have the opportunity to watch Roman Wilson on the field? “We’ll see”, said head coach Mike Tomlin, if that might come this week. The rookie wide receiver injured his ankle early in training camp and only returned to practice days ago.

“That’s what the week of work is about”, Tomlin added, referring to Wilson’s potential availability Sunday in Atlanta. If he doesn’t dress, the Steelers will surely have to elevate a wide receiver from the practice squad. They only have five on the 53-man roster, but the practice squad includes veteran Quez Watkins.
