Wilson earned starting reps over Bernard and was the most-targeted receiver in team drills.

Roman Wilson was in the starting 11 personnel at receiver alongside DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman, which may have surprised those expecting second-round pick Germie Bernard to get that spot. Wilson was a focal point in team drills throughout the first practice, thrown to more than any other pass-catcher during team periods. In individual drills, his footwork looked clean, he was agile in his cuts and breaks, and he genuinely looked like a player that has been working to improve and earn real snaps in 2026. The source notes he will be a name circled during exhibition play given where he was drafted two years ago.
