Wilson (ankle) said Wednesday that he won't be available for Saturday's preseason finale against the Lions, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
That said, Wilson indicated that he hopes to be back in action soon. The rookie third-round pick suffered a left ankle sprain at the end of July, and at that time, he was viewed as week-to-week. Given that he's still sidelined, the rookie's status for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener in Atlanta is unclear. Once he's healthy, Wilson will look to secure a steady role in a Pittsburgh wideout corps headlined by George Pickens.
