Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN): Steelers WR Roman Wilson is expected to miss a couple of weeks due to a finger injury suffered Sunday, per source. He's still gathering info and seeking a second opinion.
Wilson, who has been working to establish himself in a Steelers offense that lost Michael Pittman Jr. to injured reserve earlier this week, hurt his hand/wrist on a play during Sunday's contest. Beat reporters confirmed Wilson was ruled out for the remainder of the game along with fellow receiver Ben Skowronek, leaving the Steelers with just four healthy wide receivers: DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard, Brandon Smith, and Kaden Wetjen.
Wilson is still gathering information and seeking a second opinion before finalizing a treatment plan, suggesting the Steelers are holding out hope the timeline could be shorter than initially feared. Regardless, Pittsburgh faces another week of operating with a thin WR corps as the team prepares for its Week 6 matchup.
