• Packers' Eric Wilson: Records season-high tackle total

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Wilson recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville. Wilson led Packers linebackers in snaps (56) for a second straight game in Week 8 with Quay Walker (concussion) out, and he tallied nine tackles in a game for the first time since 2021. If Walker can't return in Week 9 versus the Lions, Wilson could merit consideration as an IDP option.

• Packers' Eric Wilson: Monster performance in Week 7

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Wilson recorded six total tackles (all solo), including 2.0 sacks and an additional four tackles for loss, and defended one pass in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans. The 30-year-old took full advantage of his increased snaps with Green Bay's first-team defense after Quay Walker left with a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's win. Wilson has now tallied 20 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, forced one fumble and nabbed one interception across 126 defensive snaps this season. Don't be surprised if the Cincinnati product begins to see increased work with the Packers' first-team defense even when Walker returns from injury, as Wilson seems to positively impact the game whenever he's on the field.

• Packers' Eric Wilson: Steps into larger role in Week 17

  01/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wilson finished Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings with six tackles (three solo). Wilson stepped into the starting inside linebacker role alongside Quay Walker after Isaiah McDuffie was forced out of Sunday's game due to a concussion. McDuffie drew the start in Week 17 after De'Vondre Campbell was ruled out ahead of the game with a neck injury. If neither McDuffie or Campbell are able to progress through practice leading up to Week 18 against the Bears, Wilson could be in line to draw the start at inside linebacker alongside Walker.

  12/22/2021 • By RotoWire

  The Texans placed Wilson on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus. Wilson has played primarily on special teams since joining the Texans. According to Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston, Wilson is the Texans' only unvaccinated player, which means he'll be subject to an automatic 10-day quarantine since he tested positive. He won't be available for Sunday's game against the Chargers as a result.
