Michael Wilson has been one of the most productive receivers in football for the Arizona Cardinals over the last few weeks.

Wilson has posted 68 receptions for 818 yards and five touchdowns this year. The 25-year-old has scored four touchdowns in the last three games and has also tallied three contests with over 10 receptions and 100 yards in 2025.

Though Wilson has been a dynamic playmaker for Arizona lately, he's off to a quiet start in Week 17 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Is Michael Wilson playing today?

Yes, Wilson is healthy and playing today.

However, he failed to haul in a reception during the Cardinals' opening drive, which ended in a punt. Wilson did garner a target from quarterback Jacoby Brissett, but it fell incomplete.

Wilson should get it going soon. He's been on fire lately and won't remain catchless.
