While the battle for the starting quarterback position appears to be heating back up, there seems to be no competition for the second wide receiver position, and there is a rather simple reason for that: their second-best WR hasn’t debuted yet.
I am, of course, talking about the 2024 rookie third-rounder out of Michigan, WR Roman Wilson. Wilson was turning heads throughout training camp before an unfortunate ankle injury put him on the shelf for several months.
The dynamic receiver progressed nicely, however, practicing in full for consecutive weeks and carrying no injury designation for two straight games.
Furthermore, his improved health begs the golden question that exists in everyone’s minds: ‘Where is Roman Wilson?’
Mike Tomlin, like he usually does, offered up a poor metaphor that not only doesn’t tell the whole story, but shifts the blame off of the coaching staff: ‘It is very difficult to get on a moving train.’
Here are some of the best reactions from fans eagerly anticipating Wilson’s arrival on an offense that is sorely missing a solid WR2 presence:
@KDPomp @ThePoniExpress Steelers need to get Roman Wilson on the field, it will open things up for Pickens. Roman is a good WR. I watched his career at Mich.

How about asking why Roman Wilson is still being inactive.

Just tell me what is up with Roman Wilson?

The Roman Wilson situation is very concerning to me, man.
You're telling me the guy you drafted on day 2 this year can't even get a helmet with this current group of WRs when you're desperate for offensive playmakers?
Something's up, & it's not good…#HereWeGo #Steelers

Why won’t someone ask him about Roman Wilson, a second round pick can’t even get a helmet on game day? The current wide receivers are leading the league in lack of separation @MarkKaboly
