Is Roman Wilson taking over the Steelers’ WR2 role?

While second-year WR Roman Wilson is making plays for the Steelers, Calvin Austin III is sidelined with a notable injury. He hasn’t practiced in weeks, and has missed the first two preseason games. Although HC Mike Tomlin suggested he expects Austin to “perk up” soon, he is losing ground, one way or another.

But how much ground could he lose to Roman Wilson, who played five snaps as a rookie? It’s not as though Wilson lit up the entire offseason, even if he has come on strong in recent weeks.
