Overview

• Wilson caught two passes for 72 yards in Week 2 of the preseason against Tampa Bay, including a 42-yard post route and a 30-yard crosser from Mason Rudolph.
• Wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni praised Wilson’s refined releases and his growing ability to beat press coverage at the line of scrimmage.
• His breakout came during limited starter reps, as DK Metcalf sat out and Calvin Austin III was sidelined by injury, opening first-team opportunities for Wilson.
• Despite his explosiveness, Wilson’s route-running details and physical profile remain a work in progress for consistent snaps.
• Pittsburgh continues evaluating potential additions at receiver to pair a larger-bodied target alongside Wilson and DK Metcalf.
