4 minute mark of the video.. Broaddus says he's hearing Wilson hasn't been around much in the offseason.
I know he has been dealing with a slight injury, knee swelling I believe was what I heard,, give me a minute to confirm.
update,, well its been a minute so no dice, I couldnt find the link that I saw it on earlier so you will just have to take my word on it...lol
This?
Wilson hits like Tyson did in his prime. We need him.It's early but having Neal makes the Wilson situation minor for me, plus they have another vet in Kearse.
Would really like for Wilson to have a full camp as the starting SS, so if he has to take time to get healthy now I'm all for it.
true true,, the situation at safety is no longer a situation of having basically nada,, now its only a situation of fans unfamiliarity with the group.It's early but having Neal makes the Wilson situation minor for me, plus they have another vet in Kearse.

He has plenty of time to get back in the mix, I liked what I saw as well and he should not be dismissed just because the room got a bit crowded all of a sudden,,,Wilson hits like Tyson did in his prime. We need him.
Somewhere in the world Isreal Mukuamu is smiling.
I know Risen mad. He thought he had some dirt on Wilson lol....
All kidding aside.. Donovan Wilson has been hyped (or hoped) to fill one of our estranged safety positions.. and last year he showed some promise, dare I say, flashes that he could be a starter. But let’s not let one of the few bright spots on last years horrible defense blind us from the truth.
The truth is.. he’s a box safety that can lay the wood. He also had a couple opportunistic INTs last year. Hey, that’s great and all.. but it was well documented and actually discussed a few times on DC.com podcast that his coverage skills had holes. Gaping holes. So.. as much as I like the big hits and a few timely Ints.. he still has a lot to prove. Unfortunately, the knee injury/swelling is doing him no favors.
New DC in town and Wilson needs to prove himself all over again..and that’s not a bad thing. Add some Dan Quinn specials like Mukuamu, Kearse, Neal(yes, he will play LB, but look like a SS at times)and even UDFA Tyler Coyle.. Wilson has some strong competition. I suppose my point is.. I’m not penciling him in as a starter just yet. He’ll have to earn it.. as he should.
Thanks for posting the vid.
It's not good to hear he's got a hurt knee. It's even worse to hear he hasn't been around much this off season. But, it's still very early so we'll have to play the wait and see game. I sure hope he turns it on come training camp. If not there are plenty of new guys back there looking for a spot.
