Pittsburgh Steelers Place Roman Wilson on Injured Reserve

The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson on injured reserve due to a strained hamstring, marking a challenging start to his NFL career. Wilson, who was drafted in the third round out of Michigan, has only played one game this season after facing multiple injuries, including an ankle injury that sidelined him for training camp and the preseason. His placement on IR means he will miss at least four games, including all of November, with a potential return slated for December 1. To fill his spot, the Steelers have elevated Brandon Johnson from the practice squad and signed Jonathan Ward to the active roster while releasing Aaron Shampklin. Wilson's struggles have been compounded by his limited playing time, having dressed for just one game and not recording any targets. The Steelers, currently leading their division, will need to adjust their offensive strategy in his absence.
