Roman Wilson was carted off the practice field due to an ankle injury.
The third round pick Roman Wilson unfortunately was carted off the field due to an ankle injury while running a jet sweep. Wilson was starting to show flashes and standing out during training camp which will now have to focus on rehabbing the ankle. He is currently ‘OK’ and will be considered week-to-week but should be fine when the season starts on September 8th when the Steelers play the Atlanta Falcons.
Wilson is fighting for playing time this upcoming season and could be a sleeper for your next fantasy team. Not having playing time with the upcoming preseason games will hurt his chances to make a mark for the beginning of the season. The ankle injury is something to monitor and watch for when drafting this upcoming season. The Steelers will have 87 targets vacated when Diontae Johnson left, allowing Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin or Van Jefferson as the beneficiary.
