Pittsburgh Steelers Designate Roman Wilson to Return

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson has begun his 21-day return window from injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury and previously battling an ankle injury earlier in the season. While Wilson has participated fully in practice, Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith emphasized a cautious, week-by-week approach to his recovery, suggesting he might not play against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18. The Steelers, who have already secured a playoff spot, are likely in no rush to reactivate Wilson, especially given the current health of their receiving corps. Wilson's skillset could address a gap in the Steelers' offense, providing a reliable option underneath, but concerns remain about the overall offensive consistency. Despite his limited playtime this season, Wilson's potential return could be a significant boost for the Steelers as they approach the postseason. However, the effectiveness of the offense also hinges on the quarterback's ability to connect with Wilson's style of play.
