Wilson "seems like the best bet to get the first shot" behind starting running back Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) this season, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Mitchell and Wilson both missed multiple games with injuries in 2021, as did Trey Sermon and third-down back JaMycal Hasty. The team brings back all four -- plus rookie third-round pick Tyrion Davis-Price -- but none of those backfield options have seemingly made a serious move to overtake the 26-year-old Wilson for the second spot on the depth chart. Wilson ran for 261 yards and two touchdowns in four fill-in starts last season, and while he likely won't see many carries when Mitchell is healthy, Wilson and Davis-Price both are candidates to sub in for some of the goal-line work.
