Inactive in Indy

Wilson’s best performance in 2019 came when he held Chiefs TE Travis Kelce to just four catches. He came off the bench after seeing his playing-time diminish and accepted the tall task at hand. From there, everything changed. It was thought to be a turning point in Wilson’s tenure with the Colts, but he played just 36 defensive snaps in Indy’s 11 remaining games. Before injuring his shoulder and missing the last two games of the season, Wilson was a healthy scratch for at least four of those 11 games.

“It was definitely frustrating,” Wilson told Stephen Holder of The Athletic. “I felt like in my second year, I was coming off a good year and I finally figured out some things and I had something to build on. I feel kind of like I got robbed of that this year, however, it went down.”

Ultimately, the Colts’ change in scheme marked the end of Wilson’s tenure in Indianapolis. The fit changed, and now the Jets are hoping for a better one.
