Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson could miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury, leading Pittsburgh to sign Tarik Black and release defensive tackle Jonathan Marshall on Wednesday.

Wilson was hurt in Tuesday's practice and left the field on a cart, but tests revealed he avoided a long-term injury, according to multiple reports. He was in contention to be the No. 2 receiver this season behind George Pickens.

The Steelers already were facing depth concerns at wide receiver. Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III would join Pickens in three-WR sets if Wilson misses significant time.

Black worked out for the Steelers in July and has played for the Ravens, Jets and Colts. He played college football for Texas and Michigan.

Marshall joined the Steelers in 2022 and spent last season on the practice squad.
