Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson will be out of the lineup for an extended period of time.
Wilson was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to the finger injury that led the team to rule him out of Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers. Wilson will now have to miss at least four games before he will be able to return to action.
Wilson has 14 catches for 188 yards and two touchdowns on the season. He joins Michael Pittman Jr. on the injured reserve list and Ben Skowronek has also been ruled out for this week.
The Steelers elevated a pair of wideouts from the practice squad to help fill out the group. Brandon Smith and Brandon Johnson will both be available Sunday before reverting back.
Running back Lew Nichols was signed off of the practice squad to take Wilson’s roster spot.
