Wilson took the field for 25 of the Saints' 68 snaps on offense and finished with an 18-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants. Wilson served as New Orleans' No. 3 wideout in Week 14, narrowly edging out Dante Pettis (21 snaps) in playing time. Though the losses of Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) have opened up more opportunities in the Saints' wideout corps, Wilson hasn't been able to capitalize. Since accruing a season-best 6-57-1 receiving line on seven targets in Week 7 against Denver, Wilson has managed just four catches for 71 yards and no touchdowns on five targets over his subsequent four appearances.

Wilson took the field for 25 of the Saints' 68 snaps on offense and finished with an 18-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants. Wilson served as New Orleans' No. 3 wideout in Week 14, narrowly edging out Dante Pettis (21 snaps) in playing time. Though the losses of Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) have opened up more opportunities in the Saints' wideout corps, Wilson hasn't been able to capitalize. Since accruing a season-best 6-57-1 receiving line on seven targets in Week 7 against Denver, Wilson has managed just four catches for 71 yards and no touchdowns on five targets over his subsequent four appearances.
Wilson (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday against the Browns. Wilson has missed two of the last three games, first due to a hip injury and then a shoulder issue, but after being listed as limited on all three Week 11 practice reports, he'll be back in action Sunday. The Saints currently have three wide receivers -- Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Bub Means (ankle) -- on injured reserve, and Mason Tipton is a healthy scratch, so Wilson will be vying with Marquez Valdes-Scantling and the elevated Kevin Austin and Dante Pettis for snaps. In his last three appearances, Wilson has accrued a 10-119-1 line on 13 targets.
Wilson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Wilson was a limited practice participant all week after missing Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons. He may have a significant role if he avoids the inactive list before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, as the Saints have arguably the thinnest WR room in the league right now. Their wideouts combined for just six targets in the win last week, with two of those being TD passes to Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
Wilson (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday. Wilson injured his shoulder Week 9 at Carolina and wasn't able to practice last week en route to inactive status this past Sunday against the Falcons. With back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 11 prep, he's put himself in a position to return to action Sunday versus the Browns, but Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he takes a designation into the weekend.
Wilson (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Wilson wasn't able to mix into any drills last week before he was ruled out for this past Sunday's contest versus the Falcons due to a shoulder injury, so his ability to handle some on-field work to kick off Week 11 prep generally is a positive sign. He'll have two more sessions this week to put himself on a path to returning to action Sunday against the Browns.
Wilson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Falcons. Already without Chris Olave (concussion), Wilson won't be available to the Saints offense either after being listed as a non-participant during the entirety of Week 10 prep. That leaves Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson as the available wide receivers on the Saints' active roster, while Dante Pettis, Equanimeous St. Brown and Kevin Austin are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.
Wilson (shoulder) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Wilson is one of two Saints wide receivers to be held out of drills so far this week, but Chris Olave seems far more likely to miss time due to the concussion that he sustained this past Sunday in Carolina. Nevertheless, Wilson likely will need to practice in some capacity Friday in order to have a chance to suit up Sunday against the Falcons.
Wilson (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday. Wilson missed some time during this past Sunday's loss at Carolina due to a shoulder injury but ultimately was able to finish out the contest on his way to two catches (on three targets) for 34 yards. With a DNP under his belt to begin Week 10 prep, his status will be on to monitor to see if he may be able to help fill in for Chris Olave, who emerged from Week 9 with a concussion following a big hit and may need a stint on injured reserve.
Wilson reeled in two of three targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 23-22 loss versus Carolina. Wilson briefly exited with a shoulder injury during the second quarter but was able to return before the end of the first half. The 28-year-old ended up playing just under half of the Saints' offensive snaps, and he tied with Mason Tipton for the most targets of any of the team's wideouts. Neither receiver played a significantly role even though WR1 Chris Olave was forced out with a concussion in the first quarter. Instead, running back Alvin Kamara and versatile tight end Taysom Hill led the team in targets with nine and five, respectively. Wilson logged a season-high seven targets when Olave was sidlined for the Week 7 loss to Denver. Wilson should serve as one of the primary wideouts alongside Tipton if Olave ends up missing next Sunday's game versus the Falcons.
