Even without DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson still can’t get on the field much, and Ray Fittipaldo wonders whether Aaron Rodgers is why. One game into Metcalf’s suspension, Wilson finally dressed again after three weeks on the bench. But he only played all of nine snaps in the game, on which he ran two routes.
And it’s not like the Steelers were moving the ball without him. Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling took over the top roles. With Calvin Austin III also out, they opted for Scotty Miller over Roman Wilson.
“I don’t think the quarterback trusts him”, Fittipaldo wrote in a recent chat when asked what the deal was with Wilson’s lack of opportunities to play.
