Miami Dolphins receiver Albert Wilson appeared in seven games last season before being placed on the injured reserve with a hip injury.

The 26-year-old is hoping to be fully recovered and play in the 2019 season opener, despite not practicing since October.

"There’s no reason why I shouldn’t be out there Week 1," Wilson said, according to the Miami Herald's Adam Beasley.

With Miami's offseason workout program done, Wilson could start training camp on the physically unable to perform list, although he says his recovery is going smoothly.

"Every test they’ve wanted me to take I’ve been right on track so there’s no reason why I shouldn’t be out there Week 1," he said. "I'm 100, I’m ready to go in when they give me the OK."

The Dolphins signed Wilson to a three-year, $24-million contract last offseason. The former Kansas City Chief accumulated 26 receptions, 391 yards, and four touchdowns in 2018.
