Aaron Rodgers critiques Roman Wilson following repeat route mistake in Steelers practice
Summary

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers addressed a recurring error made by receiver Roman Wilson during Wednesday’s practice session. Rodgers identified the issue as a repeated miscommunication on an under route, similar to a mistake Wilson made earlier in training camp that resulted in an interception. Despite the error, Rodgers expressed confidence in the receiver and noted he expects Wilson to play a significant role for the team this season. Wilson struggled to make an impact during the 2026 preseason, recording three catches for 23 yards while being involved in two interceptions caused by poor timing. With the regular season approaching, competition for the receiver rotation remains tight. Rookie Germie Bernard is currently competing for the WR3 role, placing pressure on Wilson to eliminate these consistency issues during team drills.
