The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson on injured reserve ahead of their Week 8 game against the New York Giants. Wilson has been struggling with a hamstring injury that worsened during practice last week, leading to his absence from the last three sessions.

Drafted in the third round out of Michigan, Wilson missed the preseason due to an ankle injury and only made his debut in Week 6. He will be sidelined for at least four games. Additionally, the Steelers released running back Aaron Shampklin and elevated wide receiver Brandon Johnson from the practice squad for the upcoming game.
