Steelers place WR Roman Wilson on IR

The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed wide receiver Roman Wilson on injured reserve (IR) following a finger injury sustained during last week’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. The move means Wilson will miss the team’s next four games, per league rules, and joins fellow wideout Michael Pittman Jr.

on the IR list. With two key pass-catchers sidelined, the Steelers have made roster adjustments, elevating Brandon Smith and Brandon Johnson to the 53-man roster while also signing running back Lew Nichols.

The injury report also added tight end Pat Freiermuth with a calf issue, raising concerns about depth at the position. On a positive note, wide receiver DK Metcalf has been cleared from the injury report after recovering from an illness and is expected to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Steelers, holding a 3-2 record, aim to extend their win streak in Sunday’s matchup against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, though their receiver situation adds complexity to the offensive outlook.
