Steelers Schedule 2024: Key Updates on Roman Wilson's Inactive Status for Week 3
Steelers Schedule 2024: Roman Wilson's Surprising Inactive Status
We’re just under 90 minutes out from kickoff of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both teams have officially announced their gameday inactives. Absent from the inactives list is rookie Troy Fautanu, who was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury suffered in practice this week.
Notably, the most surprising news comes with the inactive status of Steelers third-round rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson, who had been dealing with an ankle injury sustained during training camp. Despite being left off the final injury report without a designation, he will not be participating in this game, affecting the team’s depth at the wide receiver position.
The coaching staff may be opting to give Wilson additional time for integration into the offensive scheme, especially considering the current depth challenges. On the flip side, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is active and starting after his high ankle sprain. Here’s a look at the Steelers inactives for their home opener against the Chargers.
