Roman Wilson, a second-year Steeler by label only, had his rookie season unfortunately cut short by an ankle injury last year — and Steelers LS Christian Kuntz knows exactly how he feels.

On The Christian Kuntz Podcast, the Steelers long snapper explained how “bad” Roman’s situation was and shared his personal experience with ankle injuries:

“Everybody is forgetting about Roman,” Kuntz said. “Like, Roman had a bad ankle injury, dude. It sucked. It was a hip-drop tackle. It was an accident in training camp, but we’re in a live period, guys are competing, and it happened.

“An ankle injury, dude. I twisted my ankle — what was that, two years ago? Three years ago? I got rolled up on. I thought my whole leg went in half. I thought I broke my leg, and thankfully it was just my ankle. … As a receiver, planting and stuff, that’s a hard injury to come back from. So, I’m excited for Roman.”

At last year’s training camp, Wilson took a jet sweep when then-Steelers CB Anthony Averett reportedly made the tackle, rolling up on Wilson’s ankle — which Kuntz agrees was a complete accident.

Wilson would play just five total snaps his rookie season, but the sky’s the limit for the second-year wide receiver in 2025 — who many predict to have a breakout year in the Aaron Rodgers-led Steelers offense.
