Wilson Jr. missed out on the first eight games of the 2021 season nursing a knee injury, but this year, a healthy offseason has made all the difference.

Davis-Price, a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, hit his stride in the second preseason game versus the Minnesota Vikings. The LSU product had the hot hand and closed out the team’s first road game of the year with 10 carries for 41 yards and a team-long 14-yard run.
