Steelers general manager Omar Khan said Tuesday at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine that he has "a lot of confidence" in Wilson (hamstring), and that the wideout was on pace to contribute during the postseason had Pittsburgh advanced beyond the wild-card round, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson, a 2024 third-round pick, was limited to a single regular-season appearance in his rookie campaign, but he at least now appears fully recovered from the hamstring issue that caused him to end the year on IR. He also missed time early in the season with an ankle injury sustained in training camp. If he can put together a strong offseason and remain at full health to enter the 2025 campaign, he could have a big role in Year 2. Wideouts Van Jefferson, Mike Williams and Ben Skowronek are all pending free agents for Pittsburgh.

Wilson (hamstring) suited up for one regular-season game in 2024 for the Steelers, playing only five offensive snaps and not getting a target.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson's season wasn't what was expected when he was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, as the Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in training camp that derailed his season. Even after he recovered, Wilson was a healthy scratch in Week 3 through 5 before making his debut in Week 6 against the Raiders. A hamstring injury then landed him on injured reserve, which is where he ultimately finished the campaign.

Wilson (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's road wild-card round matchup against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson won't be activated from IR in time to suit up Saturday, though he has consistently practiced in full since having his 21-day window opened. For another chance a returning for postseason action, Wilson need the Steelers to emerge victorious over Baltimore and advance to the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.

Wilson (hamstring) was a full practice participant Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson is still on IR, where he's been since late October. He was designated to return Dec. 31 and was a full practice participant all last week but was held out of Pittsburgh's Week 18 loss to Cincinnati. Wilson appears to be recovered from his hamstring injury, but Pittsburgh would need to activate him off IR in order for the depth receiver to be able to play in Saturday's wild-card contest in Baltimore.

Wilson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson went on injured reserve Oct. 28 due to a hamstring injury. He was designated to return from IR on Tuesday, but he won't play in Saturday's regular-season finale despite being a full participant in practice all week; however, he could be activated during the playoffs.

Wilson (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Tuesday after being designated to return from IR, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has been on injured reserve since Oct. 28, but he practiced without restrictions after being designated to return Tuesday. The rookie wideout could return to action in Week 18 or at some point in the postseason, though Pittsburgh would first need to activate him to the 53-man roster. The Steelers have a relatively healthy receiving corps at the moment, so they're likely in no rush to make a decision on Wilson.

The Steelers opened the 21-day-practice window for Wilson (hamstring) on Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson missed the beginning of the season with an ankle injury, then hurt his hamstring in his NFL debut Week 6 versus the Raiders. He was subsequently placed on IR, and he's been there since late October. It's been mostly a lost season for Pittsburgh's third-round selection in April's NFL Draft, though Wilson's return to practice means he could be activated ahead of Saturday's Week 18 game against Cincinnati or at some point during the playoffs.

The Steelers placed Wilson (hamstring) on injured reserve Monday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The third-round rookie's 2024 has been marred by injuries, and he'll now miss at least the next four games. Wilson will first be eligible to return Week 13 against the Bengals. After missing a bunch of time over the summer and the first few weeks of the regular season with an ankle injury, Wilson made his NFL debut Week 6 and is injured again. The Steelers will continue to roll with George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin as their top three wideouts.

Wilson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Giants, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson couldn't practice in any capacity leading up to Week 8 action, and he'll now miss yet another game to kick off what's been an injury-plagued rookie campaign. His only appearance so far this season came Week 6 versus the Raiders, when he played five offensive snaps but wasn't targeted.

Wilson (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has now logged back-to-back DNPs to begin Pittsburgh's week of practice, suggesting he's a longshot to play in Monday night's matchup against the Giants. The rookie will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation in Saturday's practice to have a chance at suiting up in Week 8. If Wilson can't move past his hamstring issue, expect Scotty Miller to see increased work with the Steelers' offense.
