The Steelers rested starters for their final preseason game Friday night, and that group included third-year WR Roman Wilson. Rookie Germie Bernard, meanwhile, joined WRs Brandon Smith and Max Hurleman in the starting lineup, alongside QB Will Howard.
Steelers WR Michael Pittman is dealing with a "minor" hamstring injury, according to Penn Live's Nick Farabaugh. Pittman has been out for a week and a half but expects to be ready for Week 1, per Farabaugh.
The Athletic's Mike DeFabo calls Steelers WR Roman Wilson a camp riser. "Through camp, he’s firmly in the WR3 role in three-receiver sets," DeFabo adds.
The Steelers drafted WR Roman Wilson in Round 3 in 2024. Since then, he has tallied just 12 total receptions across two pro seasons. That made him a surprising target for praise Tuesday.
According to Steelers beat writer Mike DeFabo, rookie WR Germie Bernard “showed confident hands and good body control, especially near the sideline” this offseason. That's on brand for Bernard, who exited a four-year college career with a low 2.5% drop rate.
Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf put up his second straight dud game going 3-35-0 on 7 targets. This comes off the heels of a 2-6-0 game last week. The struggles of the Steelers’ passing game have affected Metcalf, especially with the slow pace of play for the Steelers. With QB Aaron Rodgers spreading the ball around, Metcalf’s floor will be near zero every week moving forward.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren went 16-31-2 against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. Warren also caught both of his targets for -2 yards. His measly 1.9 yards per carry didn’t help the Steelers offense much, but he was able to punch in two short scores near the goal line.
Steelers WR Calvin Austin (shoulder) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. WRs Ben Skowronek, Scotty Miller, and Roman Wilson are candidates to pick up extra snaps. But none is a viable Week 6 fantasy play.
Steelers WR Calvin Austin III heads toward training camp leading the competition for roles behind DK Metcalf. "I think that '2' spot is all Calvin's right now," WRs coach Zach Azzanni said in June. That quote came from ESPN's Brooke Pryor writing Austin up as Pittsburgh's biggest surprise player in early workouts. But don't ignore "right now" in the coach's message.
The Steelers are expected to finalize a trade today that will send WR George Pickens to the Cowboys. Josina Anderson reports Pittsburgh will get a 2026 third-round pick and a late-round pick swap in 2027 (Steelers sixth-rounder for Cowboys fifth-rounder). Pickens turned 24 in March and heads into the final year of his rookie contract.
The Steelers have placed WR Roman Wilson on IR for his hamstring injury. The rookie sustained the injury in the practice week leading up to the Week 7 win over the Jets. Wilson missed that game and has played just 5 snaps all year. He previously dealt with an ankle injury suffered before the season.
Steelers WR Roman Wilson is inactive for today's game vs. the Chargers. The rookie has been working back from a significant ankle injury but was left off this week's final injury report. Wilson is not worth rostering in any redraft leagues right now.
Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 3 injury report. He’s ready to make his debut against the Chargers on Sunday. We’ll see how big a role the rookie plays, but he’s well off the fantasy radar right now.
Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. We’ll see if the rookie is able to make his NFL debut next week, but he’s well off the redraft radar right now.
Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos after a limited week of practice. We’ll see if the rookie is ready to make his debut, but he shouldn’t be in your Week 2 fantasy plans.
Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. He got in three limited practices this week, so he has a good chance to make his NFL debut in Week 2. Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin figure to operate as Pittsburgh’s No. 2 and 3 WRs in the opener, but neither is a viable fantasy play.
Steelers WR Roman Wilson is considered "week-to-week" with the ankle injury he suffered in Tuesday's practice, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "He could miss some time, but the injury does not appear serious," Fowler adds. It's relatively good news after Wilson had to be carted back to the locker room.
