The Pittsburgh Steelers placed receiver Roman Wilson on injured reserve, requiring him to miss at least four games.

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed receiver Roman Wilson on injured reserve Saturday following a finger injury sustained the previous week. Wilson had been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. The move means he must sit out at least the next four games.

Wilson ranked third on the team with 188 receiving yards on 14 catches and two touchdowns. His absence comes as the Steelers also deal with injuries to other receivers: Ben Skowronek (calf) and Michael Pittman Jr. (foot). In response, the team elevated receivers Brandon Smith and Brandon Johnson from the practice squad for the Tampa Bay game.

The Steelers also signed practice squad running back Lew Nichols to the 53-man roster. Nichols had been elevated to the active roster for each of the past three games.
