Steelers' Roman Wilson: Nearing return to practice?

Wilson (ankle) did prep work with his teammates Monday but didn't actually practice, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.

The rookie third-round pick sprained his left ankle during the first week of training camp and used a protective boot for a few days thereafter. Wilson did some individual drills last week, suggesting he has a chance to be ready for the regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 8 against Atlanta, although the month of missed practice presumably ends any hope of being a Week 1 starter. Van Jefferson has taken most of the first-team reps opposite George Pickens this summer, including during preseason games, with Calvin Austin mostly working the slot as Pittsburgh's No. 3 receiver.
