Steelers fans react to Roman Wilson IR news:

The “will Roman Wilson play” drama appears to be on a short hiatus – at least four weeks – as the rookie’s hamstring injury resulted in the receiver being sidelined injured substitute. In recent weeks, fans and reporters alike have called for an explanation as to why Wilson was used so sparingly, as he only played a total of 5 snaps per game in 2024.

Some were quick to point out Wilson’s injuries prior to his Week 5 debut; however, he was a healthy scratch a few weeks prior to that. Wilson also missed his team’s week six game, but Tomlin argued that Wilson’s hamstring injury was no less of a reason and that “he moved on‘from the situation.

Fans of the Steel City they were divided on their initial reactions Wilson will be added to IR on Monday, and here are some of the enthusiastic reactions to the news on social media.

Now Roman Wilson is on IR, and the kid has been dealing with an injury throughout his time in Pittsburgh

People hating on Roman Wilson… it’s absolutely absurd.

He is struggling with injuries.

This is a significant part of this brutal game.

He will bounce back and he will be able to show what he is capable of.

Alex, is it safe to assume that Roman Wilson is done for the year?

It never looked like Tomlin was confident in his ability to contribute this year before his injury.

Total nonsense about Roman Wilson. Feel like he’s destined for a redshirt rookie season. #Steelmen
