Impact Wilson has now logged back-to-back DNPs to begin Pittsburgh's week of practice, suggesting he's a longshot to play in Monday night's matchup against the Giants. The rookie will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation in Saturday's practice to have a chance at suiting up in Week 8. If Wilson can't move past his hamstring issue, expect Scotty Miller to see increased work with the Steelers' offense.

Likely to sit out Sunday Wilson (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, isn't expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wilson was inactive for the Steelers' first five games of the season before making his NFL debut in last Sunday's win over the Raiders. He played just five snaps in the victory and may have sustained a hamstring injury at some point during Week 7 prep. He didn't appear on the Steelers' initial injury report released Wednesday, then was listed as a limited participant in practices Thursday and Friday due to the hamstring issue. Official word on Wilson's Week 7 status will arrive when Pittsburgh posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable for Week 7 Wilson (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wilson made his NFL debut in the Steelers' Week 6 win over the Raiders, playing just five of the team's 67 offensive snaps and failing to record a stat. The Michigan product then popped up on Pittsburgh's injury report as a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring issue, putting his Week 7 availability in jeopardy. If Wilson can't play through his hamstring injury Sunday night, expect Scotty Miller to see increased snaps in the Steelers' wide receiver corps.

Limited action in debut Wilson failed to record a single target in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.

Impact Wilson made his season debut in Week 6 after recovering from an an ankle injury that caused him to miss the majority of training camp and the beginning of the 2024 campaign. The Steelers' coaching staff decided to ease him into action, as the rookie wideout played just five of Pittsburgh's 67 offensive snaps in the contest. As Wilson acclimates to the offense, his playing time and opportunities should increase. He'll do so with Russell Wilson under center instead of Justin Fields, as the Steelers are planning to make a quarterback change in Week 7 against the Jets.

Making season debut Wilson is active Sunday against the Raiders, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Wilson, who missed the majority of training camp and the early part of this season with an ankle injury, has been working his way back into the mix in practice over the last few weeks. Now that he's set to make his regular-season debut, the 2024 third-rounder will look to carve out a steady role in a Pittsburgh WR corps that's been seeking quality depth behind top option George Pickens, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.

Healthy inactive for Week 4 Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Wilson missed the first two games of the season while recovering from an ankle injury sustained during training camp. However, the rookie is healthy now and still can't crack the Steelers' wideout rotation. George Pickens, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin and Scotty Miller are Pittsburgh's only active wideouts for Week 4. Wilson should be able to carve out a role once he gets more practice reps under his belt.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy inactive for Week 3 Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact After missing the first two games of the season while recovering from an ankle injury sustained in training camp, Wilson didn't take an injury tag into the weekend after logging full practices Thursday and Friday. Though Wilson seems to be fully healthy at this point, the Steelers may want to see the rookie third-round pick put in some more practice time before clearing him to make his NFL debut. With Wilson sitting out Sunday, the Steelers will have four receivers (George Pickens, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin and Scotty Miller) active for the contest.

Logs another limited practice Wilson (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Wilson, a rookie third-round pick, continues to work his way back from an ankle injury sustained in training camp.

Wilson will work to gain clearance to make his NFL debut Sunday versus the Chargers.

Won't play Sunday Wilson (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Wilson, who missed the entire preseason as well as the Steelers' season opener against the Falcons, approached the contest listed as questionable after logging a limited practice Friday.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable after limited practice Wilson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos after a limited practice Friday.

Impact Wilson practiced without limitations Thursday, but his participation downgraded Friday. The 2024 third-round draft pick is hoping to make his NFL debut Sunday, but he missed the entire preseason, as well as last week's 18-10 win over the Falcons, due to an ankle injury. Even if he suits up, Wilson's role will likely be limited initially as he gets up to speed.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to full practice Wilson (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Wilson missed the entire preseason, along with the Steelers' season opener against the Falcons, but the wideout's return to a full practice Thursday sets the stage for him to be available Sunday against the Broncos. Assuming the 2024 third-rounder does suit up this weekend, it remains to be seen how much work he'd initially see in a Pittsburgh WR corps that also includes George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin, but down the road there could be an opportunity for the Michigan product to secure a steady role behind Pickens, the team's top option at the position.
