Tennessee Titans 2020 first-round pick and offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson, as well as practice squad defensive back Greg Mabin, have both been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, the team announced on Saturday.
Wilson had the longest stint of any player on the list, as he was placed there on September 6, his second stint. Mabin had the second longest stint on the list after being put there on September 24.
With Wilson and Mabin now both off the list, the Titans have a total of 12 players on it, all of whom have been added since September 29.
It remains to be seen how far down in the pecking order Wilson will be upon his return. Right tackle Dennis Kelly is cemented in his status as the starter, and based on what we’ve seen and heard about Wilson’s performance during training camp, he’s probably not ready to be the main backup, either.
That job will likely go to swing tackle Ty Sambrailo, who has already played snaps at left tackle in Taylor Lewan’s absence. Sambrailo will almost certainly be the first man off the bench at both tackle spots.
During his stint on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, Wilson got himself into some legal trouble after being arrested for DUI. His original court date that was scheduled for October 7 has since been pushed back to February 2021, so he should be in the clear from any sort of punishment for the rest of the season.
