Albert Wilson injury update: Former Chiefs receiver could miss rest of season

Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Albert Wilson has unfortunately been sidelined by a hip injury that could ruin the rest of his season.

The Miami Dolphins watched wide receiver Albert Wilson leave with an injury in their loss on Sunday to the Detroit Lions. Unfortunately it could keep him out for the rest of the season.

Wilson was unable to get back up immediately after coming down with a 25-yard catch in the second quarter from quarterback Brock Osweiler. It was clear he’d injured his leg or hip in the process, and his agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed the hip injury and its seriousness after the game.

Wilson was signed this offseason by the Dolphins to the tune of a three-year, $24 million deal in free agency. After playing his first four years in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, Wilson had finally reached his chance at a big payday and the Dolphins rewarded him as an ascending talent who could help the Dolphins offense turn the corner by adding another weapon, especially one with such a great work ethic.

Wilson was well on his way to setting career highs in multiple categories with the Dolphins in 2018, and was coming off of the single best performance of his career in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. In a close three point win, the Dolphins watched Wilson catch six of his nine targets for 155 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. It was his first 100-yard game on the season and showed what he can do if given significant attention.

Wilson has 26 catches for 391 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns on the year for the Dolphins so far. The touchdown total was already a career high and he needed another 163 yards to match his best in total receiving yards in a season.
