The rollercoaster of emotions, that is Roman Wilson’s health, is a neverending ride fans of the young player wish would stop. After making his regular season debut in Week 6, fans were eager to see how Wilson would be involved in the gameplan moving forward.
Wilson was used sparingly in the team’s Week 6 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching zero balls, on zero targets, with only five snaps played. It almost seemed as if OC Arthur Smith and HC Mike Tomlin played the rookie WR to avoid hearing his name any further in future media availabilities.
However, the third-round receiver out of Michigan suffered another injury setback in this practice this week. While deemed questionable to play, the elevation of WR Brandon Johnson paints a picture in which Wilson will be downgraded to OUT.
We have promoted LB Ade Ogundeji to the Active Roster off the Practice Squad and elevated WR Brandon Johnson and RB Jonathan Ward to the Active/Inactive Roster off the Practice Squad. @BordasLaw https://t.co/DDe1Z9fXO3

The Russell to Roman Wilson debut is trending in the wrong direction, and it seems fans may have to wait additional time before they can see this duo tear up opposing secondaries together.
