Status of Key Steelers Rookie Still Up in the Air at Denver
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Updates: The Week 2 status for rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson is still up in the air as he returns from a training camp ankle injury.
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers got a good injury report on Friday for their Week 2 game at the Denver Broncos, but the status of rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson remains up in the air.
Wilson received a questionable designation for the game after being limited in practice for the third consecutive day. He is still recovering from an ankle injury suffered in the first week of training camp, that cost him almost all of camp, all of the preseason and at least the first week of the regular season. He appears to be at a similar place in his recovery that tackle Troy Fautanu was last week. Fautanu dressed as a backup but did not play for the opener.
The team’s third-round pick out of Michigan, Wilson would be a welcome addition to a wide receivers room that saw its non-George Pickens members haul in a total of two catches for eight yards in the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons last week.
Quarterback Russell Wilson is also listed as questionable, but he is not expected to start. Only left guard Isaac Seumalo, who is expected to miss a month with his pectoral injury, has been completely ruled out.
Four Steelers were full participants in Friday’s practice and received no injury status for the game: linebacker Patrick Queen, defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, tackle Dan Moore Jr., and cornerback Darius Rush.
