Ahead of their Week 8 matchup with the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, the Pittsburgh SteelersWilson first popped up on the injury report just days ahead of the Steelers' Week 7 game against the New York Jets after beginning that week as a full participant.
It's been a tough campaign for the 23-year-old, whom Pittsburgh selected in the third round of the NFL Draft out of Michigan. He sustained an ankle injury at the beginning of training camp that caused him to miss the entire preseason, and he didn't make his debut until Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders, which is the only contest he's appeared in.
Wide receiver Brandon Johnson has also been elevated from the practice squad for Monday night's contest.
