The last time we saw Kyrie Wilson, he was writing in pain on the field, had difficulty getting up and had to be taken off on a motorized cart.

Wilson took a helmet-to-helmet hit from blocker John White of the B.C. Lions on June 15 and it looked ugly as he was removed from the game and did not return.

But eight days later, Wilson was back on the field when the Bombers resumed practice after a bye week and said Tuesday he was feeling no lingering effects.

“It was just a good, physical hit,” Wilson said. “I took it but I feel better and ready to go.”

Wilson said he did not suffer a concussion on the play.

The 26-year-old Wilson, who is in his third season with the Bombers but only played six games before this year and spent most of his time on the practice roster, won a starting job at weak-side linebacker in training camp.

“It’s not easy but I just had patience,” Wilson said of biding his time in Winnipeg. “I just stayed focused and stayed ready because anything’s possible. You have to trust the process, trust the plan and you’ll get your chance.”
