Steelers injury report: Roman Wilson trending toward playing in Week 2 image

The Pittsburgh Steelers released their second injury report of the week on Thursday and it included an upgrade in participation for rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson.

Wilson (ankle) was listed as a full participant in practice on Thursday, which marks the first time he has practiced in full since late July. Wilson was limited all of last week before he ultimately sat out the Week 1 contest against the Atlanta Falcons.

A third-round pick of the Steelers, Wilson injured his ankle in training camp and did not take part in any of the Steelers' preseason games. It remains to be seen how big of a role Wilson will have in his debut, but he has a chance to play a big part in Pittsburgh's offense this season with the uncertainty the team has at wide receiver.

Pittsburgh Steelers injury report

Here's a look at the Steelers' full injury report from Thursday.

Quarterback Russell Wilson logged yet another limited session, which keeps Justin Fields on track to start again in Week 2. Wilson told reporters earlier in the day that he's getting closer but didn't say whether or not he would play.

Linebacker Patrick Queen, who practiced in full on Wednesday, was a notable addition to the injury report with a groin issue. We'll see if he can get any work in on Friday, but for now his status is up in the air.

Two other players saw an upgrade in participation from Wednesday, with left tackle Dan Moore and defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi both logging full practices.

It looked like we might get a look at the Steelers' starting tackle duo of the future in Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones after Moore didn't practice on Wednesday, but his upgrade in participation on Thursday means that might not happen.

Denver Broncos injury report

Denver has a few notable names on its injury report in wide receiver Josh Reynolds and tackle Garrett Bolles. Both saw an upgrade in participation on Thursday, as they were limited after not practicing on Wednesday.

The Steelers and Broncos will release one more injury report on Friday and will then meet at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday, Sept. 15, with kickoff set for 4:25 p.m. ET.
