Insider erklärt, warum Mike Tomlin die Einsatzzeit von Roman Wilson begrenzte

NFL-Insider Adam Caplan berichtete, dass die Pittsburgh Steelers zunehmend frustriert über den Rookie-Receiver Roman Wilson waren, nachdem eine Verletzung seine Spielzeit in der Saison 2024 eingeschränkt hatte. Caplan äußerte sich am Dienstag im Podcast Inside the Birds.

Caplan merkte an, dass das Team hohe Erwartungen an Wilson hatte, nachdem es ihn in der dritten Runde des Drafts 2024 ausgewählt hatte. Eine frühe Verletzung veranlasste den Trainerstab dazu, seine Einsatzmöglichkeiten zu reduzieren – ein Muster, das Caplan unter Mike Tomlin als aus den Augen, aus dem Sinn beschrieb. Wilson beendete die Saison 2025 mit 12 gefangenen Pässen für 166 Yards und zwei Touchdowns, bevor er gegen Ende des Jahres auf die Bank gesetzt wurde.
