Wilson (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson last played Week 10 and seems to have benefitted from a Week 14 bye. He was a limited practice participant throughout the week, with coach Jonathan Gannon saying Friday that the rookie looked good in practice and should be ready to "pick up where he left off" before the injury, per PHNX Cardinals. Wilson played more than two-thirds of Arizona's snaps in each of his last six appearances, and if he's declared active ahead of the team's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday, it'll likely put Greg Dortch back in a reserve role. The other option would be demoting Rondale Moore, who has been less involved than Dortch in the passing game but is much faster and contributes some as a ball carrier.

Wilson (neck) was limited in practice Thursday, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson's last appearance occurred in Week 10, and while his absences Weeks 11-13 were blamed on a shoulder injury, the Cardinals now are listing him with a neck issue after their Week 14 bye. He's managed back-to-back capped sessions so far this week and will have one more opportunity to get back to all activity before the team potentially gives him a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Wilson (neck) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the wake of the Cardinals' Week 14 bye, Wilson got back on the field with a capped session to begin Week 15 prep and will have two more chances to get back to all activity before week's end. While his absences before the bye were attributed to a shoulder injury, he's now being listed with a neck issue. Fellow wide receiver Marquise Brown (heel) didn't take part in drills Wednesday, so Wilson could find himself a bigger part of Arizona's offense Sunday against the 49ers if he's able to return to action and the former is limited or sidelined.

Wilson (shoulder) was spotted taking part in Monday's unofficial practice session, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though the Cardinals were back on the field Monday following a Week 14 bye, the team won't have to submit its first Week 15 injury report until Wednesday, at which point it will be known whether Wilson is practicing as a full or limited participant. The fact that the rookie receiver is at least practicing in some capacity is an encouraging sign after he had sat out Arizona's last three games while missing six consecutive practices. If Wilson is available for this Sunday's game against the 49ers, he should reclaim the starting role he had held prior to suffering the shoulder injury.

Wilson (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Steelers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Jonathan Gannon ruled Wilson out before practice Friday, likely giving Greg Dortch at least one more week in a top-three role at wide receiver. The rookie will enter a Week 14 bye having missed three consecutive games and four of the past five, though the fact he hasn't been placed on injured reserve suggests there's some chance he'll be ready for Week 15 against the 49ers.

Wilson (shoulder) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson is set to go down as a non-participant on the Cardinals' fifth practice report in a row, and unless he can get back on the field in some capacity Friday, he'll most likely miss a third consecutive game this weekend in Pittsburgh. In addition to Wilson, quarterback Kyler Murray could be down a couple other key passing-game weapons, as wideout Marquise Brown (heel) and tight end Trey McBride (groin) were also spectators at practice Thursday for the second day in a row.

Wilson (shoulder) isn't practicing Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie wideout missed three of Arizona's past four games with the shoulder injury and didn't practice at all last week. With a Week 14 bye around the corner, the Cardinals may not have much reason to bring Wilson back for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Wilson (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Friday that Wilson will be inactive for a third time in four games. The Cardinals may want to hold him out another week at this point, as their Dec. 3 contest in Pittsburgh is followed by a late bye in Week 14. Greg Dortch took on most of Wilson's snaps in a loss to the Texans last Sunday, catching six of eight targets for 76 yards while playing more snaps on offense (46 - 75 percent) than he had in every prior game combined this year (45).

Wilson (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The same can be said for Marquise Brown (heel), leaving the statuses of Arizona's top two wide receivers in flux ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Rams. Friday's injury report could be telling for both players' chances to suit up this weekend, but with Zach Pascal (hamstring) also limited Wednesday and Thursday, Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch and Andre Baccellia are the team's healthy WRs on the active roster.

Wilson (shoulder) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has been tending to a shoulder injury that has impacted him for the entirety of November and limited him to one appearance over the last three games. On Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Wilson suffered a setback with his shoulder late last week and now isn't logging any on-field work to begin Week 12 prep. Wilson will have two more chances to mix into drills before the Cardinals potentially make a ruling on his availability ahead of Sunday's contest against the Rams.
