ALBERT WILSON NEWS

Inefficient in blowout loss Wilson secured four of six targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills.

Impact Wilson's statline deserves some context, as Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) was forced out early in the first quarter Sunday and Jacoby Brissett proved unable to helm Miami's offense in relief. Nonetheless, through the first two weeks of the season Wilson has been lackluster for the Dolphins, with four catches for 20 yards on eight targets in total. The wideout handled 55 percent of offensive snaps, but unless Wilson can start proving more efficient he could begin seceding more opportunities to electric rookie Jaylen Waddle (64 percent of snaps).

No receptions in win Wilson did not have a reception on two targets in Sunday's 17-16 win over New England.

Impact Wilson had the fewest targets of any Dolphins receiver in the contest. With fellow wideout Will Fuller (suspension) missing the season opener, Wilson was unable to capitalize and only played on 41 percent of the teams offensive snaps. The 29-year-old's snap count is likely to fall even further as Fuller makes his return to the field in Week 2. Wilson will likely be hard pressed to find much playing time in three-wide sets while Fuller, DeVante Parker, and Jaylen Waddle are healthy.

Feeling healthy Wilson (undisclosed) said he feels "ready to go" after participating in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Wilson and position mates DeVante Parker and Will Fuller (suspension) all missed notable portions of training camp due to injury, but Miami's receiving corps looks back in good health ahead of Sept. 12's season opener in New England. As a result of Fuller being suspended Week 1, Wilson could open the 2021 campaign as a starter alongside Parker and Jaylen Waddle, but as the season unfolds, the 29-year-old stands to be an odd man out on three-wide sets. Still, Wilson drew rave reviews all offseason, so he should see fairly consistent work on offense even while operating in a depth role.

Returns to practice Tuesday Wilson (undisclosed) is participating in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact The 29-year-old returned to practice Tuesday alongside positional mates DeVante Parker (undisclosed) and Will Fuller (foot). Wilson made a strong impression during the early portion of training camp, but having missed over a week of practices may have allowed Jaylen Waddle to gain some footing in the competition for reps out of the slot.

AUGUST 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out again Wilson (undisclosed) is unlikely to play Saturday against the Panthers.

Impact Wilson has not participated in practice dating to last Wednesday, although considering the Dolphins haven't even listed why the veteran wideout is missing time, it's seemingly not a serious issue. DeVante Parker (undisclosed) , Will Fuller (foot), Lynn Bowden (hamstring), Preston Williams (foot) and Isaiah Ford will all join Wilson on the sidelines Saturday which could leave the door open for a couple of depth pieces to make a case for a roster spot.

Still not practicing Wilson (undisclosed) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, Barry Jackson and Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald report.

Impact Wilson, DeVante Parker (undisclosed) and Will Fuller (foot) were all absent from Tuesday's walk-through practice, though coach Brian Flores said all three wideouts are "getting closer." After getting off to a strong start during the early days of training camp, Wilson has now missed roughly a week of practices, including last weekend's preseason match against the Bears. That absence has paved the way for Jaylen Waddle, likely Wilson's primary competition for slot snaps, to handle increased first-team reps.

AUGUST 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Wilson (undisclosed) is not expected to play Saturday against the Bears.

Impact Wilson missed the previous three days of practice with an undisclosed issue, which is likely why the veteran wide receiver will not make an appearance Saturday. Will Fuller (foot) and Allen Hurns are also not expected to play, opening the door for a number of depth wideouts to get a chance to shine.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from practice Wilson (undisclosed) missed practice Thursday, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact It's his second missed practice in a row, hinting at an injury or illness. The timing is unfortunate, as Wilson reportedly has been one of the stars of training camp and might've been headed for a busy outing in Saturday's preseason game against the Bears. Not that he's been ruled out for the contest, but a Thursday absence does point in that direction. Fellow wideouts Will Fuller (foot) and DeVante Parker also missed Thursday's session.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as starter Wilson is listed as a starter on the Dolphins' first depth chart of the season, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Wilson, DeVante Parker and Will Fuller (foot/suspension) are listed as the Dolphins' starting wideouts for Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears, while rookie first-round pick Jaylen Waddle is listed as a backup. Part of that placement is likely just Waddle having to earn his reps, but Wilson has by all accounts been one of Miami's more impressive playmakers throughout camp. If the 29-year-old is indeed back to his peak explosiveness after having opted out of the 2020 season, he could certainly make a case for being involved on offense. Whether he'll still be listed ahead of Waddle on the depth chart by Week 1 is another matter.

Impact On paper, the Miami wideout group is much deeper than in recent years, with Will Fuller and Jaylen Waddle being prized offseason acquisitions while Wilson and Allen Hurns return from COVID-19 opt outs to provide depth. However, each of Fuller, DeVante Parker (undisclosed) and Preston Williams (foot) has missed most or all of training camp, and Wilson has stepped up in response, often handling a familiar role as the slot receiver for the first-team offense. That doesn't mean he'll have a top-three role come Week 1, but the 29-year-old is at least making his case to retain a roster spot and some degree of involvement in the Miami offense. The Dolphins might also consider trading Wilson -- or perhaps another veteran wideout -- if they're ever able to get Parker, Fuller and Waddle healthy at the same time.

Returns from opt-out year Wilson returned for Miami's offseason program after opting out of the 2020 campaign.

Impact He'll return to a team with far better depth at his position after the Dolphins added Will Fuller and Jaylen Waddle in the offseason. The team presumably hopes for Fuller, Waddle and DeVante Parker to be the top three guys, but Wilson could get slot work if things don't quite go according to plan. Granted, the Dolphins also have Lynn Bowden, Allen Hurns and Preston Williams (foot) battling for depth roles, so Wilson may not even have a roster spot if he struggles during training camp and the preseason.
