Wilson (finger) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Wilson already had been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, but the move to IR means that the third-year pro will be required to miss at least four games. Since the Steelers are on a bye for Week 9, the earliest that Wilson can return is Week 11 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 22. He joins Michael Pittman (foot) on injured reserve, which leaves rookie second-rounder Germie Bernard as the Steelers' WR2 behind DK Metcalf for the next few weeks.

Wilson will be the Steelers' WR2 while Michael Pittman is on injured reserve due to a foot injury.
Pittman aggravated a foot injury during practice this past week, and the injury is severe enough for the veteran wideout to warrant a stint on IR. That paves the way for Wilson to work in more two-wideout sets with DK Metcalf, and that's good news for the former considering he's logged six targets in each of the first four games of the regular season and has caught touchdown passes in back-to-back contests. The Steelers face the Colts on Sunday, and Indianapolis could be without starting outside cornerback Charvarius Ward due to a groin injury.
Wilson brought in three of six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' 27-24 loss to the Browns on Thursday.

Wilson is set to see more snaps as an outside receiver during Sunday's game against the Patriots, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Wilson is set to be the No. 2 wide receiver Sunday behind DK Metcalf due to the injury to Michael Pittman (ankle). Wilson saw 54 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the Falcons, a number that should increase as the 25-year-old takes on a more critical role. The wide receiver saw six targets in Week 1 and will likely see even more against the Patriots unless the opponent chooses to have standout cornerback Christian Gonzalez follow the third-year player.
The WRs priced immediately above and below him.
