Wilson impresses with 23-yard grab but skips special teams; offensive focus unclear.

Veteran Cedrick Wilson Jr. earned early praise from the coaching staff during OTAs and started in Detroit's first preseason contest, playing 15 snaps on offense and making an impressive outstretched grab for 23 yards on the team's first drive; however, he did not log a snap on special teams, raising questions about whether Detroit is prioritizing his offensive versatility at X, Y, and Z positions over special teams contributions despite his 373 career special teams snaps.
