Overview
- Roman Wilson left Sunday’s Week 5 game with a hand/finger injury that reporters said may be a dislocation and he did not return for the contest.
- Ben Skowronek exited late in the second quarter with a calf injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
- Those losses came after Michael Pittman Jr. was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week, leaving the Steelers late in the game with only DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard, practice-squad call-up Brandon Smith and rookie Kaden Wetjen at wide receiver.
- Head coach Mike McCarthy provided no immediate postgame medical update, so formal diagnoses, recovery timetables and any roster transactions remain pending.
- The thin receiver room increases the likelihood of more practice-squad elevations or IR moves that would bench players for multiple weeks and will likely force Aaron Rodgers and the offense to adjust target distribution and play calling in upcoming games.
