News

  • Restored from COVID list

    Wilson (illness) was activated from the Texans' reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Wilson was on the COVID-19 list for about a week. He now will be free to return to practice and prepare for Sunday's matchup with 49ers, resuming his role at outside linebacker opposite Christian Kirksey.

  • Placed on COVID-19 list

    The Texans placed Wilson on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Claimed by Texans

    Wilson was claimed off waivers by Houston on Thursday.

    Analysis: The linebacker was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday after appearing in seven contests for the team this year. He made 43 tackles and intercepted a pass in those games. Wilson will have a chance to play sooner rather than later, as Christian Kirksey (thumb) and Kevin Pierre-Louis (illness) both carry questionable tags heading into Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.

  • Waived by Philadelphia

    Wilson was waived by the Eagles on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Wilson was a coach's decision inactive for the Eagles' Week 8 contest against the Lions. Coach Nick Sirianni appears to be leaning on the team's younger players for defense for the remainder of the season. Expect Davion Taylor to see an increased role for the Eagles' defense Sunday against the Chargers.

  • Left off game-day roster

    Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Lions, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.

    Analysis: Wilson wasn't listed on the injury report all week, so his absence from the game-day roster implies the linebacker has been benched for Week 8. Davion Taylor will likely draw the start and play the majority of snaps in Wilson's absence.

  • Huge day in loss

    Wilson tallied 10 tackles (six solo), a pass defensed and an interception in Sunday's 42-30 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: It was Wilson's second double-digit tackle effort on the year, bringing him to 34 on the season. He played 49 snaps (73 percent), which was just seven shy of equaling Alex Singleton for the team lead at linebacker. The Cincinnati product is currently on pace to surpass his career-high of 122 tackles from a year ago with the Vikings.

  • Puts up 10 tackles

    Wilson posted 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 17-11 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Despite playing just 68 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 2, Wilson was one of three Eagles players to hit double-digit stops. Through two games, he has registered 18 tackles (seven solo). He should be a sturdy IDP option as long as his playing time doesn't drop further.

  • Tallies nine tackles

    Wilson recorded nine tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Wilson tied with cornerback Avonte Maddox for the team high in tackles during his Eagles debut. With the Vikings last season, Wilson posted 122 tackles, eight pass breakups, three sacks and three interceptions. He has a strong IDP outlook this year as Philadelphia's middle linebacker.

  • Heading to Philadelphia

    Wilson agreed Wednesday with the Eagles on a one-year, $3.25 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Wilson was thrust into an every-down role in Minnesota last season after Anthony Barr went down with a pectoral tear, and he used his extra reps to rack up 122 total tackles and three interceptions. Expect Wilson to contend for a starting role in the Eagles' linebacking corps as he moves on to Philadelphia.

  • Numerous career highs in 2020

    Wilson tallied 122 tackles (62 solo), three sacks, eight pass breakups and three interceptions through his 16 games this season.

    Analysis: In his fourth year with Minnesota, Wilson recorded career highs in tackles, interceptions, pass defenses and defensive snaps. It was all made possible by Anthony Barr's pectoral tear from Week 2, which sidelined him for the rest of the season. Wilson is heading into the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

  • Big tackling day

    Wilson posted 11 tackles (four solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Wilson hit double-digit tackles for the second time this year. With a stranglehold on the starting role because of Anthony Barr's (pectoral) absence, Wilson has capitalized with 90 stops, three sacks, five pass breakups and three interceptions through 12 games. He's second on the team to Eric Kendricks (107) in stops this year.

  • Tacks on another sack

    Wilson recorded seven tackles (five solo), a sack and a pass breakup in Monday's 19-13 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Wilson was quite impressive yet again, getting good pressure on Nick Foles and remaining active in coverage. He's racked up 61 tackles through nine games, just one shy of a career high, and he's already reached personal bests with 3.5 sacks, four pass breakups and two interceptions. Not bad for a contract year.

  • Has 13 total tackles

    Wilson had 13 total tackles, an interception, 0.5 sacks, a QB hit and a pass defensed in Sunday's win over Detroit.

    Analysis: Wilson racked up the tackles as he played on all of the defense's 75 snaps. He started at weak-side linebacker and is getting increased playing time after Anthony Barr was lost for the season in Week 2.

  • Making most of expanded role

    Wilson had an interception, a sack, two tackles for a loss, three QB hits, a pass defensed and six tackles in Sunday's loss at Seattle.

    Analysis: Wilson started at weak-side linebacker and played on all 54 of the defense's snaps. With Anthony Barr out for the season with a pectoral injury, Wilson is having a larger role and making the most of it. Wilson previously came off the field in nickel and dime packages, but he'll now play alongside Eric Kendricks in almost all formations.

  • Role set to increase

    Wilson had seven total tackles, a tackle for a loss and one pass defensed in Sunday's loss at Indianapolis.

    Analysis: With Anthony Barr out for the season with a pectoral injury, Wilson will see a larger role in the defense. Wilson previously came off the field in nickel and dime packages, but he'll now play alongside Eric Kendricks in almost all formations.

  • Three tackles Sunday

    Wilson started at weak-side linebacker and had three total tackles in Sunday's loss to Green Bay. He played on 44 of the defense's 78 snaps.

    Analysis: Wilson's fantasy value is limited as he comes off the field in nickel and dime packages. He didn't help his case Sunday for more time in passing situations as he gave up three receptions on all three passes targeted his way per Pro Football Focus.

  • Signs tender

    Wilson has signed his restricted free agent tender for $3.259 million for the 2020 season, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Wilson suited up for all 16 games in 2019 and accumulated 62 tackles (36 solo) and three sacks in the process. He currently projects as the team's starting weakside linebacker heading into 2020. The 25-year-old will look to pick up where he left off this year, as he finished Week 17 against the Bears last season with a career-high 12 tackles (seven solo) and one sack.

  • Return to Minnesota likely

    The Vikings placed a second-round tender on Wilson on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The move signifies that a team must send Minnesota a second-round pick in return if they wish to sign the restricted free agent. Wilson established himself as one of the most consistent linebackers for the Vikings in 2019, suiting up in all 16 games and racking up 62 tackles (36 solo) and three sacks. The 25-year-old logged a few starts at the end of the season at linebacker in 2019, and he'll likely assume that role should he stick in Minnesota for 2020.

  • Career-high tackle total

    Wilson notched 62 tackles (36 solo) across 16 regular-season contests in 2019. He also managed 13 tackles (nine solo) in the Vikings' two playoff games.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old is set to become a restricted free agent in March, and his lack of upside as a pass rusher means he'll remain off the IDP radar for 2020 even if the Vikings re-sign him.

  • Practices without limitations

    Wilson (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Wilson was limited in Wednesday's practice session due to a shoulder issue, but he now looks back to full health. The 25-year-old played only 45 percent of snaps on defense during Week 13's loss to the Seahawks, but he could be in line for a larger workload against the Lions on Sunday now that he's free of injury.

  • Battling shoulder issue

    Wilson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Wilson was expected to slot into a starting role during this past Monday's loss to the Seahawks but he logged only a 45-percent snap share. It's possible this injury held him back a bit, but the severity is unclear. The team likely will monitor his status closely leading up to Sunday's matchup against the Lions, as he's one of two healthy outside linebackers.

  • Steps into starting role

    Wilson will start at weak-side linebacker after Ben Gedeon (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Wilson started three games so far this season and had an 11-tackle performance Week 3, but his defensive role has mostly been limited. The 25-year-old's production as a fill-in starter earlier illustrates some potential IDP viability, but his actual workload won't be fully clear until after Monday's matchup with the Seahawks.
