What happened: Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek sustained injuries during the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 5 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, ruling both wide receivers out against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Their absences leave DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard, and Kaden Wetjen as the only active wideouts left from the opening 53-man roster. Pittsburgh also elevated first-year receiver Brandon Smith from the practice squad on Oct. 10 to reinforce the unit.
