Two up, two down for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they head into a showdown of undefeated teams against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Mike Tomlin already told us the plans for the QB situation, and a few special teamers have hit the I.R.

But is this the week Pittsburgh finally gets some help in their WR corps via rookie WR Roman Wilson?

On Wednesday, we got an initial glimpse, but Thursday gave us a better idea of what's to come from Wilson and others:

Steelers Week 3 Injury Report (Thursday)

Steelers Takeaways:

  • QB Russell Wilson: As Tomlin told the media on Tuesday, the team is once again preparing for Justin Fields to start, which was backed up by Wednesday's report as Wilson was listed as a limited participant and was seen working on different concept compared to Justin Fields and Kyle Allen. On Thursday, Wilson was still limited, so no real surprise 
  • WR Roman Wilson: After practicing in a full capacity last week, it seemed like Wilson would make his highly anticipated Steelers debut, but Pittsburgh decided to keep him inactive and under wraps. With the rookie participating in a limited capacity on Wednesday, if he's full by the end of the week it projects well for his play against the Chargers. On Thursday, Roman was listed as a full participant, getting him one step closer to making his debut
  • OL Isaac Seumalo: HC Mike Tomlin said that Seumalo might be getting closer to his return when speaking to the media on Tuesday, but Seumalo was still listed as a DNP on Wednesday. On Thursday, Seumalo was still a dnp
  • TE MyCole Pruitt: Nursing a knee injury after Sunday, the Steelers elevated Rodney Williams to fill the 53rd spot on the roster on Wednesday, forecasting doubt upon the availability of Pruitt. That was confirmed when he was listed as a DNP on Wednesday. Things didn't change much on Thursday, with another DNP
