During the Miami Dolphins’ 2021 training camp, Albert Wilson’s return was a major talking point. At a position of incredible depth for the team, Wilson was standing out as a player who was ready to make a major contribution in the season. Then the regular season started and Wilson may as well have still been on a COVID-19 opt-out status.
Not only was nothing happening on the field for Wilson, but Wilson was barely on the field. In Weeks 8 and 9, he played five snaps, combined. He was not just not being targeted. He was not even playing.
