The Arizona Cardinals will see Michael Wilson on the field when they host the Atlanta Falcons.

ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals are set to see some notable names in their lineup when the team hosts the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10, as Kyler Murray and James Conner are both returning from injury and have the green light for action moving forward.

However, rookie receiver Michael Wilson was one of seven players initially deemed questionable heading into Sunday with a shoulder injury. Bleacher Report NFL insider Jordan Schultz expects him to play.

Wilson has emerged as Arizona's No. 2 target behind Marquise Brown this season, as the rookie has reeled in 25 receptions for 401 yards and two touchdowns. He's averaging 16 yards per reception. 

Murray - set to throw to Wilson for the first time ever in a live setting - gave the Stanford product nothing short of glowing reviews. 

“I love Michael. He is a great kid, but he’s a great player. I think he does everything right. Anything you ask, he’ll do. Almost to the point of like— I’m just joking around sometimes and I may ask him (to do something) and he’s like, ‘Yeah, K1. I’ll do it.’ He’s bought in, man. He’s a great teammate too, so I’m looking forward to getting him the rock. Between him, ‘Quise’ (WR Marquise Brown) (WR) Rondale (Moore) and (TE) Trey (McBride) you get them going—we’ve got guys behind them ready to go, but I feel good about the weapons that we have.”

Official inactives will be released 90 minutes prior to game time.
