Wilson reeled in two of three targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 23-22 loss versus Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Wilson (shoulder) returned to Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson exited during the second quarter with a shoulder injury, but he returned at some point in the second half and caught at least one pass in the fourth quarter. The veteran should serve as one of the Saints' primary wideouts alongside Mason Tipton for the remainder of the game.

Wilson exited Sunday's game at Carolina due to a shoulder injury.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his departure in the second quarter, Wilson hauled in his only target for 18 yards. In a game in which fellow WR Chris Olave (concussion) also left early following a scary hit, the Saints are down to Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson at the position.

Wilson (hip) is active for Sunday's game at Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson's status for Week 9 was thrown into question after he managed two limited sessions due to a hip injury. The Saints are down two wide receivers -- Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Bub Means (ankle) -- on injured reserve, so the receiving corps aside from Chris Olave consists of Mason Tipton, Wilson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson.

Wilson (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Carolina, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson managed a pair of limited practices to wrap up Week 9 prep after sitting out Wednesday's session due to a hip injury, giving him a chance to be available Sunday. Meanwhile, fellow WR Bub Means (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game. With Rashid Shaheed (knee) out for the season, Wilson would be among the options behind Chris Olave for snaps and targets if he's active along with Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson.

Wilson (hip) was limited in practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Wilson bumped up from being a non-participant at Wednesday's session, fellow WR Bub Means continued to sit out due to a high-ankle sprain. Among the duo, Wilson thus appears to be the better bet to be available Sunday at Carolina, but Friday's injury report may provide a sense of his odds to suit up for that contest.

Wilson (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The same can be said for fellow WR Bub Means, who emerged from the Saints' Week 8 defeat to the Chargers with a high-ankle sprain. Wilson hasn't practiced since last Wednesday, when he was limited, so he may need to return to the field in at least that capacity to have a chance to return to action Sunday in Carolina. At the moment, Chris Olave, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Johnson are the healthy options at the position on New Orleans' active roster.

Wilson (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson opened Week 8 prep with a limited practice Wednesday, but after downgrading to no activity Thursday and Friday, the Saints will hold him out Sunday for what will be the receiver's first absence of the season. The 28-year-old had produced a season-best 6-57-1 receiving line on eight targets in the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Broncos, but even if he hadn't suffered the hip injury, Wilson likely would have seen a decreased role Sunday with top wideout Chris Olave (concussion) returning from a one-game absence.

Wilson (hip) didn't practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After logging a limited session Wednesday due to a hip injury, Wilson didn't mix into drills at all one day later, which is a somewhat worrisome sign in advance of the weekend. Friday's practice could be telling for his odds to suit up Sunday at the Chargers, but if he ends up being available, he'd help to fill the void left behind by Rashid Shaheed, who is out for the season following meniscus surgery.

Wilson was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson is on the heels of his top two snap shares of the campaign, notching eight catches (on 10 targets) for 85 yards and one touchdown between Weeks 6 and 7. With Rashid Shaheed out for the rest of the campaign due to meniscus surgery and Chris Olave in the concussion protocol, Wilson has an opportunity to continue being relevant in the Saints offense, but a health concern now puts a potential wrench in that expectation.
