Steelers' Roman Wilson: Unavailable for Week 1
Wilson (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Falcons, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Wilson logged a trio of limited practices this week, but he isn't yet healthy enough to make his NFL debut. A left ankle sprain caused the rookie third-round pick to miss most of training camp and the preseason, but it appears he's been making good progress in his recovery. Wilson's next chance to play will come Week 2 on the road against Denver.

Steelers' Roman Wilson: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Wilson (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson missed most of training camp and preseason due to a left ankle sprain, and while the rookie third-round draft pick has made some progress in his recovery, his status for Sunday's season opener against the Falcons remains up in the air. If Wilson is able to upgrade to full practice participation Thursday or Friday, he would likely avoid Pittsburgh's final injury report, which would pave the way for the wide receiver to make his NFL debut Sunday.

Steelers' Roman Wilson: Could play in opener
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism Tuesday that Wilson (ankle) could suit up in Sunday's season opener versus the Falcons, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Wilson missed most of training camp and all of the preseason while recovering from a left ankle sprain, but the rookie third-round pick out of Michigan looks like he'll be able to practice in some capacity during the upcoming week. The Steelers will likely wait and see how Wilson fares during practice before making a call on his status for Sunday's game, but even if he's active for the opener, he's unlikely to be in store for a major role right out of the gate due to the time he missed over the summer. George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin are listed as the Steelers' three starting receivers on the team's first depth chart of the season that was released Tuesday, with Wilson being listed as Jefferson's backup, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com.

Steelers' Roman Wilson: Nearing return to practice?
Wilson (ankle) did prep work with his teammates Monday but didn't actually practice, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.
The rookie third-round pick sprained his left ankle during the first week of training camp and used a protective boot for a few days thereafter. Wilson did some individual drills last week, suggesting he has a chance to be ready for the regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 8 against Atlanta, although the month of missed practice presumably ends any hope of being a Week 1 starter. Van Jefferson has taken most of the first-team reps opposite George Pickens this summer, including during preseason games, with Calvin Austin mostly working the slot as Pittsburgh's No. 3 receiver.

Steelers' Roman Wilson: Hopes to return soon
Wilson (ankle) said Wednesday that he won't be available for Saturday's preseason finale against the Lions, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
That said, Wilson indicated that he hopes to be back in action soon. The rookie third-round pick suffered a left ankle sprain at the end of July, and at that time, he was viewed as week-to-week. Given that he's still sidelined, the rookie's status for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener in Atlanta is unclear. Once he's healthy, Wilson will look to secure a steady role in a Pittsburgh wideout corps headlined by George Pickens.

Steelers' Roman Wilson: Sheds walking boot
Wilson was spotted in training camp without a walking boot Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Wilson sprained his ankle during practice Tuesday and subsequently donned a walking boot, though doing so was deemed a precaution. Head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Thursday that the rookie wideout is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks, so he's unlikely to play in the team's first exhibition game Aug. 9. However, the fact that he's no longer wearing a boot (Saunders indicated that Wilson is wearing a wrap instead) is a positive sign that the receiver will be ready to play Week 1 of the regular season.
