The good news. Rookie WR Roman Wilson is set to make his NFL debut today against the Las Vegas Raiders. The wait tested fan’s patience but Wilson fell behind the rest of the team thanks to a training camp ankle injury that robbed nearly his entire summer.
The bad news. He might not play much. That’s the question worth examining, no longer debating if Wilson will or should dress. Now, it’s a matter of how many reps he’s handed and his impact on thegame.
Ostensibly, Wilson will operate as this team’s No. 5 receiver. He’s active partly due to all the injuries around him, five players ruled out and getting a hat only over – presumably – two healthy spots: the emergency third-string quarterback that we assume will be Kyle Allen and the ninth offensive lineman who never dresses anyway.
