WR Albert Wilson

(On how he feels after missing the last two games.) – “Pretty good. I’m just working my way back into things. I feel pretty good.”

(Head Coach Brian Flores said there is a possibility that you can play on Sunday. Do you feel you are ready to go on Sunday?) – “Yeah, I feel really good. We’re just doing everything possible just to protect ourselves for the rest of the season and just making sure I’ll be able to go out there strong week after week. Whatever is best for me is pretty much going to happen on Sunday. But yeah, I feel good. I feel like I’m ready.”

(The whole process of dealing with the hip for several months and now a calf injury on top of it, how mentally trying and draining has it been to deal with all of that?) – “Not at all. I’m just super ready. I’m just ready to get back out there, ready to help this team out. I’m just ready to get back out there. There’s not any downfall mentally of me not behind out there. I’m just excited and I just can’t wait for it to happen.”

(Has any of this been precautionary? Could you played last week?) – “No. I don’t think I could have been out there 100 percent last week so I think that was a great decision. But yeah, I feel pretty good this week. I’ve been doing everything they ask me to do so we’ll see.”

(What was it like those first three games, you watching them on TV?) – “Just kind of heartbreaking, just not being able to help and being sidelined really sucks. But that’s why we get 16 weeks, I guess. We’re just moving on week after week and just try to try our best to figure it out.”

(Do you say anything to the other receivers? Seeing it from the TV, do you see different things or angles? Maybe encouraging them? What’s it like…) – “Definitely. I feel like we’re doing some good things. We just have to capitalize on other things and get better in the things we’re lacking in. I think the guys are doing a great job of just coming in every day and just trying to get better. This week we have another chance to prove that we got better, so that’s good.”

(Last week, a lot of balls were going downfield from QB Josh Rosen. Did you get excited now that you’re coming back and you see how that offense is with him, to maybe get a chance to be a little bit explosive there?) – “Yeah. I don’t really catch a lot of downfield balls. (laughter) It looks great though. I think he did a great job of just coming in and being prepared. I think we can help him out on our side and the receiver’s side a little more. When we get things figured out in our room and with him getting more comfortable back there, I think things will be exciting for the offense.”

(When was the last time you felt like yourself physically?) – “The Friday before the Patriots game. I was really good, ready to go, then the calf kind of happened. It kind of set me back a couple of weeks. Right now, besides back then, right now I feel really good. I feel like I’m moving smooth, moving fast, and just ready to get out there and just show the world.”

(You mean the Ravens week?) – “Ravens. My mistake, the Ravens week, yeah. So the Ravens week, that Friday the calf happened. But other than that, right now I feel really good. I got out there and moved yesterday and felt really, really good. They had to kind of hold me back from doing things. I feel good, just waiting for them to call my number so I can get in there.”

(What went into your decision to not have the hip surgery, and to let this heal naturally?) – “I didn’t need it. If we didn’t need to go in there and fix anything, and if it didn’t heal on it’s own surgery was always an option. But I think we made a good decision of not having it. It doesn’t bother me at all to this day. I think we did a good job of calling no surgery and just letting it heal naturally, and taking it’s time on its own.”

(This is all calf, not hip?) – “No, the hip feels great. The calf kind of set me back a couple of weeks, but when it’s my time, it’s going to be good, it’s definitely going to be good.”
