I wouldn't worry yet. Friday's practice is usually the tell all for players availability for weekend games. Players who are dinged up a bit typically sit out practices during middle of the week. Especially proven players. If he doesn't practice Friday, I would find another option. Personally I think he will play.

From Jerry mac's blog:Assuming Tom Cable wants to see players practice by Friday to be available on game day, the Raiders will be without running back Darren McFadden, defensive end Derrick Burgess and strong side linebacker Ricky Brown when they face the Atlanta Falcons Sunday.
McFadden was not suited up and is still wearing a protective boot on his left foot. Brown was on the field but not practicing, and Burgess wasn’t on the field. Neither was linebacker Jon Alston, who is recovering from a foot sprain.
Safety Gibril Wilson, who missed the last two practice sessions with a sore toe, was with the team during stretching although it was impossible to determine whether he will actually practice. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall, given the day off by Cable Thursday, was back on the field.
More to come later . . .
I've got Wilson, too, and the problem is that while he's leading our league in scoring for a db, I have plenty of other options. So, I did a little digging and here's what I can find.In Silver and Black Illustrated, it says this:
I gave the second paragraph, too, even though it was not about Gibril because Baller was concerned regarding whether or not they'd say if it was turf toe. Don't know, but they did mention it for Darren McFadden, so maybe they would have.Meanwhile, the following publications all said Wilson was hurt but would play:Sacramento Bee (interesting quote: "Safety Gibril Wilson was moving good after practice while working on a tackling angles against practice squad running back Louis Rankin. He'd missed two practices because of a toe injury but looks ready to go.")San Francisco ChronicleSan Jose Mercury NewsMind you, they might all have received their reports from the same source (but that Sacramento Bee report was from a Raiders Blog mantained by Bee staffer Jason Jones).CBS Sportsline says this:
RotoWorld says:
After all that, am I starting my fellow alumnus from the U of Tennessee? Dunno. I really hate to see a zero pop up in that spot. I may play it safe since I also have Ndukwe, Rhodes, and Mikell. Whatever you decide, I hope the above is helpful to you!

hes been a top 3 DB, if not #1... hard to bench a guy on pace to surpass 90 solos.
If hes playing u got to play him.

I agree...He is starting this week for me over Milloy and Ndukwe. I would only have second thoughts if he was a game time decision.

Per Rotoworld:
Raiders S Gibril Wilson (groin) returned to practice Thursday.
Wilson is expected to play Sunday against Carolina, but the defense will be without linebacker Ricky Brown (groin) and pass rusher Derrick Burgess (triceps) once again. It's a great matchup for DeAngelo Williams.
Gibril is the leading scoring DB in my league... I wouldn't fret too much over early week skipped practices for bumps and bruises. Happens all the time, especially with veteran players.
Maybe you should let him actually miss a game before you start comparing him to Westbrook?

In my tackle heavy league, he ranks 3rd as a LB. So far he's IDP MVP

blurb edit:
Fri, Nov 7 Oakland Raiders SS Gibril Wilson (groin) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 7. He is listed as questionable for the team's Week 10 game but is expected to play.

Injury report says he missed as did a local columnist or two. I will see if i can dig up links for the latter.

KFFL is wrong.He did not practice Friday.
The correct information is on the official NFL injury report as well.Could go either way here unfortunately. Best local sources don't have any specific information on him. Tom Cable, when talking about JaMarcus Russell, said players that don't practice Friday often don't play on Sunday.
You'd think we'd have heard about a setback since he practiced fully on Thursday, but most of the stories are focused on Russell.

bump for any saturday updates?

Gibril started and put up a 4 tackle (3 solo) line this week. Nothing special but I'll take it after the missed practice on Friday and the questionable tag. Hopefully -baller stepped away from the ledge. 
Would be interested in any early week updates from the homers if he came out of the game o.k. or if we're looking at a lingering problem?

Running back Darren McFadden (toe) and safety Gibril Wilson(back) were also limited but are expected to play, with Wilson starting at strong safety.
As was noted by J Giles Band... Last week Wilson was listed as questionable and didn't practice on Friday, but started. He's listed as probable, though limited Friday, at least he practiced. On a side note... Miami has been a hit and miss matchup for safeties this year.

He did not have a productive game... that’s for sure, but that was more likely do to the meager 37 tackle ops (average 54) Oakland had.

10 tackles (6 solos), 1 fumble recovery and a 1/2 sack... and still hasn't missed a game.
Hope you didn't sit him -baller.
