The Story in 60 Seconds

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson will miss multiple weeks after suffering a finger injury during Sunday's victory against the Indianapolis Colts. Wilson hurt his left hand in the second quarter and was seen wearing a soft cast and finger splint on Monday. Coach Mike McCarthy officially ruled Wilson out for the upcoming Week 6 contest against Tampa Bay, with Wilson planning to seek a second opinion.

Wilson's absence compounds mounting injuries among Pittsburgh's receiving corps. Veteran Michael Pittman Jr. landed on injured reserve with a foot injury, while Ben Skowronek also exited Sunday's game with a calf issue. The Steelers now rely heavily on rookie Germie Bernard, Brandon Smith, and their tight ends, while re-signing linebacker Elandon Roberts to the practice squad.
