Steelers Injury Updates: Roman Wilson Upgraded, Pruitt Remains Out

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson was a full participant at practice on Thursday, and appears to be trending toward making his NFL debut against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday after missing the first two games with an ankle injury.

Wilson was also a full participant last Thursday before being limited on Friday, so his status for this Friday’s practice could go a long way to whether or not he gets helmet on Sunday. Speaking with the media after practice, Wilson said he does not yet know whether he’ll get the chance to play this week.

“I hope I get to play,” he said. “It’s not up to me. Every day I come into this building, I just do what I can to get ready for the game. I just come here and practice hard and do what I’ve got to do, one day at a time. … Every day I feel like I come in here and get a little bit better. That’s all I can really focus on, having a good attitude and getting better every day.”
