Wilson took a back seat to Harrison for most of the practice but still had plenty of catches, especially when Brissett was throwing. He and Brissett continued to look good going back to last year.PositiveRoleJul 29, 2026
Michael Wilson is clearly the #1 receiver at this point in camp, hauling in the deep ball from Jacoby Brissett. The coaches are allowing him to play fast and do what he does well; so far, Wilson is killing it and is a very good deep threat. Marvin Harrison Jr. will have to distance himself from Wilson's current pecking order position.PositiveRoleJul 29, 2026

OC Nathaniel Hackett mentions Michael Wilson as a receiver option in situational play-calling, suggesting scheme-specific deployment rather than a featured role. Hackett notes that play-calling is defense-dependent and that execution across the entire offense takes priority: 'We might sit there and say, hey, this is a perfect play for Michael (Wilson) or Trey. But things happen. It's about everybody else across the board being perfect right now.'NegativeValueJul 24, 2026
Both Michael Wilson and the Cardinals want to get a contract extension done, but neither side wants to do it right now. Wilson's side believes he could produce another 1,000+ yard season and break the bank. The Cardinals' side is hesitant because if Marvin Harrison Jr. breaks out and Wilson remains the sidekick, why pay for him? The offense will run through WR1, Trey McBride, and eventually Jeremiah Love. The Cardinals have time and no need to hurry to extend Wilson; Ossenfort was smart to wait and see if Wilson can duplicate his 2025 results in 2026 rather than execute a buy-high scenario.NegativeRoleJul 24, 2026
Michael Wilson was present and participating fully in training camp activities. When Marvin Harrison Jr. was injured and the Cardinals became extremely pass-happy, Wilson put up incredible numbers down the stretch. However, when Trey McBride and Harrison Jr. were both healthy, Wilson was the quieter third option. Wilson seems like a good receiver but doesn't have the same quick-twitch movements of an unquestioned star.PositiveRoleJul 23, 2026
Wilson, age 26, is featured in the Cardinals' new LaFleur offense. The source notes Wilson had a tremendous 2025 season despite both starting running backs being out and offensive line issues, demonstrating his value and production in the offense.PositiveProjectionJul 22, 2026
The source projects a Pro Bowl year for Wilson in the new offense. Wilson led all Cardinals receivers with 1,006 yards last season and was second on the roster in targets with 126 behind Trey McBride. He has solidified the WR1 position and is in line to receive a contract extension during training camp. The new short-to-intermediate passing scheme should leverage his skills, with the offense relying heavily on both Wilson and Marv Harrison Jr.PositiveBreakoutJul 22, 2026
Michael Wilson experienced a pseudo breakout in year three, serving as a comparison point for evaluating potential 2026 breakout candidates among Arizona Cardinals players in their third season.
