With the Steelers dealing with a slew of injuries, it\u2019s not surprising that Wilson will get a helmet for the first time this season. The Steelers will only have one healthy scratch on Sunday, and it\u2019s likely to be an offensive lineman.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson suffered a high ankle sprain early in training camp and missed the first two games. He was then a healthy scratch the last three games due to the time missed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re talking about a lot of time missed. He\u2019s working very hard.\u00a0<span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">I would imagine it will happen sooner than later, but it\u2019s not that you got to reach this certain metric. A lot of it is getting back in game shape,\u201d Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said on Thursday when asked about\u00a0<span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q\">Wilson\u2019s path to playing<\/span>. \u201c<\/span><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">He\u2019s doing really well, he\u2019s making progress every day. I\u2019d imagine it probably happen sooner rather than later. But missing all of training camp, you (have to) get your legs back. It\u2019s not like a guy played four games and missed a week or two. There\u2019s a lot of football conditioning and certainly a young guy, mentally too. Very pleased with the progress he\u2019s made.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mike Tomlin had the same message for Wilson a few weeks ago as Smith.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-175oi2r\">\n<div id=\"id__b9qfpm8dh1g\" class=\"css-146c3p1 r-8akbws r-krxsd3 r-dnmrzs r-1udh08x r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-37j5jr r-a023e6 r-rjixqe r-16dba41 r-bnwqim\" dir=\"auto\" lang=\"en\" data-testid=\"tweetText\">\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s just gotta keep working. It is very difficult to get on a moving train,\u201d\u00a0Tomlin said\u00a0on Sept. 24 following the Los Angeles Chargers game.<\/p>\n<p>Tomlin added that veteran defensive lineman Dean Lowry was a healthy scratch twice after his lengthy camp absence, and said that\u2019s multiplied when talking about a rookie.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">\u201cMy advice to\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q\">Roman<\/span><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">\u00a0is to keep working. Take that opportunity when that door is left ajar,\u201d Tomlin said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It appears Wilson will finally get his chance on Sunday. Pittsburgh currently ranks 23rd in yards per game, 27th in passing yards per game and 26th in scoring. To say the least, the passing game has struggled. Wilson could be the WR2 that the offense has been seeking, or at the very least provide a spark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson is expected to make his NFL debut on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders,\u00a0according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
