Roman Wilson could be in a now-or-never situation amid injury concerns within the Pittsburgh Steelers' WR room

The Pittsburgh Steelers' WR room is on its last legs, with Mike Tomlin's weekly address likely to provide insight into how long Calvin Austin III will be out due to his shoulder injury. In the meantime, the Steelers used their bye week to get healthy at other positions, and perhaps more importantly, self-scout and get better.

That includes figuring out a role for Roman Wilson, who has struggled to touch the field. The last time the Steelers played a game, Wilson played just six percent of the team's offensive snaps. Only one of his snaps came with a passing play attached, and Wilson was used as a blocker.

But if Austin misses a game or two, the WR No. 2 role in Pittsburgh is up for grabs. It will be on Wilson to come down with it.
