Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson will miss multiple weeks because of a finger injury, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, adding to the growing list of injured Steelers receivers.
Wilson was hurt in the second quarter of Sunday's victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He was seen grabbing his left hand after an incomplete pass attempt from Aaron Rodgers and was ruled out for the rest of the game. Wilson is still awaiting more information on the injury and will seek a second opinion, the source said.
Pittsburgh is already without veteran receiver Michael Pittman Jr., who was placed on injured reserve Saturday with a foot injury. The Steelers also lost wideout and special teams ace Ben Skowronek, who left in the second quarter Sunday with a calf injury.
With Wilson, Pittman and possibly Skowronek sidelined, the Steelers' only healthy receivers currently are DK Metcalf, rookies Germie Bernard and Kaden Wetjen, and Brandon Smith, who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday. Wilson, 25, had been off to a solid start in his third season with the Steelers, recording 14 receptions on 25 targets for 188 yards and two touchdowns. He entered Sunday's game with the second-most receiving targets on the team.
