Steelers Injury Updates: Roman Wilson in Boot, Russ Still Limited
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Updates: Rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson is wearing a boot on his ankle. Russell Wilson remains limited.
UNITY TWP., Pa. — For the seventh consecutive practice to start Pittsburgh Steelers training camp 2024, quarterback Russell Wilson was not a full participant in practice on Thursday, even as the team worked without pads at St. Vincent College.
Just like Tuesday and Wednesday, Wilson practiced in individual periods, threw for 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 drills between cornerbacks and wide receivers, and worked in 7-on-7. In team periods, he was limited to handing the ball off, and did not take any 11-on-11 passing snaps, even though the Steelers were not in pads on Thursday. The club was up against their CBA-appointed maximum. Teams are not permitted to practice in pads on three consecutive days.
The Steelers’ other R Wilson, rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson, missed practice altogether for the second straight day, and is wearing a boot on his left ankle. Head coach Mike Tomlin said it may be multiple weeks before he returns.
“He’s got an ankle sprain,” Tomlin said. “It could be characterized as week-to-week at this juncture. We’ve got him walking around in a boot for precaution. I’ll give you more information as he gets closer to help.”
Elsewhere, outside linebacker Kyron Johnson missed practice after leaving Wednesday’s session late with a hamstring injury. Tight end Rodney Williams II worked in individual periods only for the second straight day as he works back from an AC joint sprain. Wide receiver and kickoff returner Cordarrelle Patterson ran off to the side during practice for the first time. He is coming back from an offseason hamstring injury and remains on the non-football injury list.
