Even though cornerback Josh Wilson has yet to contribute considerably to the Ravens defense he has earned more playing time and will play this Sunday.
Coach John Harbaugh confirmed that the four year veteran will definitely be active for this home game against the Denver Broncos. Considering how safety Tom Zbikowski is listed as questionable on the injury report, Wilson will probably be next in line run back kickoffs if his defensive counterpart is unavailable.
If you are unaware of Wilson's body of work peep at these stats. During his time in Seattle he has intercepted six passes in his career, three of those were returned for touchdowns. He often played the role of kick returner and as a second year player in 2008 averaged 25.4 yards/kick return on 69 returns. He is dangerous when he gets the ball in his hands, he just has to be given the opportunity.
With Denver's extremely active passing attack on the other side of the field all the talent the Ravens have on the roster including Wilson will be utilized for defending big pass plays.
