Wilhoite started Sunday's preseason opener alongside NaVorro Bowman, finishing with five tackles (all solo) in limited action.

EDGE Analysis

This should come as no surprise, as Wilhoite had been lining up next to Bowman during training camp and he has the most experience playing middle linebacker among his competition. This doesn't guarantee that he will be the starter come Week 1, but Wilhoite definitely has the early lead in a job battle that could lead to IDP relevance.
