He appeared to sustain an ankle injury while
being tackled on a jet sweep during a short-yardage drill.
Tomlin said the injury to Wilson was unfortunate just as veteran
quarterback Russell Wilson was taking the field for position
drills.
"Roman hurt his ankle in a tackle and they are evaluating him,"
Tomlin said. "To have more information on the extent of the
injury and how long he could be out."
Russell Wilson has been dealing with a strained calf and spent
the first week of camp on the sideline at Tomlin's urging.
Roman Wilson, 23, was a third-round pick (84th overall) in the
2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan. He's expected to play a
significant role for the Steelers, who traded Diontae Johnson to
the Carolina Panthers.
He caught 48 passes for 789 yards and 12 touchdowns for the
national champion Wolverines in 2023.
