Mike Tomlin shed light on the nature of wide receiver Roman Wilson’s injury after practice on Tuesday.
ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reported that it’s an ankle injury “being evaluated for severity and length of time out.”
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected the Michigan star in the third round (No. 84) of April’s NFL draft.
Without Wilson for any period of time, the receiver corps is George Pickens and a slew of average wideouts.
Whether Wilson’s injury is serious or not, the Steelers lack depth in the position group. Pittsburgh never got a deal done with a proven top-tier receiver ahead of or behind Pickens during the offseason, and general manager Omar Khan previously denied interest in doing so.
Should Wilson’s injury be severe, the Steelers had better get the phones going.
Roman Wilson has an ankle injury, Mike Tomlin says. He’s being evaluated to determine severity and length of time out.
