After missing Sunday’s Week 2 game against the Minnesota Vikings with a concussion, Pittsburgh Steelers safety J.J. Wilcox has now been cleared to resume practicing on Wednesday, according to the team.
Wilcox, who the Steelers acquired via a trade just with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just prior to the start of the regular season, suffered his concussion late in the Steelers Week 1 road win over the Cleveland Browns due to a helmet-to-helmet hit on wide receiver Corey Coleman following his short reception that resulted in a touchdown.
Wilcox was placed in concussion protocol by the Steelers a week ago Monday and remained there until today.
