Dolphins fans, rejoice! Receiver Albert Wilson quickly gained favor with Dolphins fans for his explosive plays and thrilling skills in the open field — before his 2018 season was cut short at the halfway point due to a hip injury. For the past several months, there has been speculation on whether or not Wilson was going to be 100% in time for the regular season. Despite Wilson’s assurances when talking to the media, the Dolphins have been very deliberate in Wilson’s participation at practices — and he hasn’t taken snaps in any of Miami’s preseason contests, either.

But the facts are becoming more apparent as the Dolphins’ kickoff to the regular season creeps closer. And Wilson continues to assure that he’s ready to go.

“If that’s the play, then I’m ready to go with it,” said Wilson when asked if he’d be ready for the opener.

“I feel good. If not 100 percent or not as good as last year, I feel better. I was able to work on those little things. I got more in-depth into slowing things down into my routes and just knowing how to be a better player outside of my talents.”

A scary thought for opposing slot defenders — Wilson’s now adding tricks to his bag to go with his slippery play and stunning speed? Yikes. And Wilson’s speed is back, too. He confirmed on Monday that he’s been opening up his strides and sprinting at full capacity.

“I’ve been opening up for a while now. I feel good just running full speed and just trying to pull away from people. I’m ready to go.”

So are we, Albert. So are we.
