Although tonight isn’t Roman Wilson’s in-stadium debut, it might as well be. It’s more important than the five snaps he played last season. Having missed the entirety of the preseason as a rookie, this will mark his most extensive playing time thus far. And although Aaron Rodgers is not playing, it’s also Wilson’s best opportunity to prove himself.
Also not playing are DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III, the latter due to injury. As a result, Roman Wilson is guaranteed not just to start, but to play a featured role in the offense. The second-year receiver looks to build off a string of recent strong practices as he solidifies an offensive role.
