The Pittsburgh Steelers need their wide receivers to step up in the second and final game of DK Metcalf's suspension.
Of course, Metcalf was suspended for two games due to an altercation with a fan during the game against the Detroit Lions.
Despite their obvious need at wide receiver, second-year wideout Roman Wilson is not on the field for the Steelers on Sunday night.
Is Roman Wilson playing tonight?
No, Wilson is not active for the Steelers in Week 18.
We've seen Wilson be a healthy scratch on several occasions this season, and for multiple reasons.
Wilson doesn't offer the kind of special teams value other wide receivers on the roster do, and with Wilson regularly contributing nothing when he does play, that has been a key factor in Wilson not dressing.
Wilson has had two disastrous seasons to start his career and there's no question the 2026 campaign will be a make-or-break one for the Michigan product.
