Wilson's surprise healthy scratch raises questions about preseason performance.

Roman Wilson surprisingly didn't dress to play in the preseason finale against Buffalo with no noted injury; head coach Mike McCarthy gave a non-answer about the decision, citing strong practices earlier in the week. Drew Allar finds the choice puzzling given Wilson hasn't made a statement this preseason and speculates McCarthy may have wanted to give other receivers more tape.
