Headed to Windy City
The Bears signed Wilson to the practice squad Thursday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Wilson was waived by the Packers following training camp, and he spent some time on the Giants' practice squad before being cut Oct. 2. The 24-year-old tight end has yet to see NFL regular-season action since signing with New Orleans as an undrafted free agent in April 2023. The move corresponds with tight end Tommy Sweeney (undisclosed) being placed on the Bears' practice-squad injured reserve.

Cut by Big Blue
The Giants cut Wilson from the practice squad Tuesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Wilson signed with the Giants' practice squad Sept. 24 after failing to make the Packers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Should he clear waivers, the 24-year-old will look to catch on with a team in need of tight end depth. Wilson was on the practice squad for Buffalo and Green Bay in 2023.
