Wilson (knee) has been placed on season-ending injured reserve, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Rashean Mathis (concussion) already on injured reserve and Nevin Lawson (concussion) in danger of missing Week 11, the Lions badly need to add depth at a position that wasn't exactly a strength to begin with. Wilson had been serving as the team's nickelback.

Wilson signed a one-year deal with the Lions on Friday, Tim Twentyman of the team's official website reports. The 30-year-old Wilson has plenty of experience working both outside and in the slot, but his play has been a mixed bag throughout his career. At the very least, he'll provide some veteran depth, and there's some chance he gets a shot to compete for a starting role.

Josh Wilson opened training camp as the Falcons' nickel corner. Wilson has been getting the majority of nickel reps over Robert McClain and Javier Arenas. He was a 16-game starter for Washington last season, but graded out as PFF's No. 76 corner. Wilson is the early favorite for slot duties, though competition for snaps should carry on well into the preseason.

The Redskins are not expected to re-sign free agent CB Josh Wilson. Wilson started all 16 games opposite DeAngelo Hall this past season and moved into the slot in nickel packages, but he proved to be a big part of the Redskins' coverage problems. Washington wants to give second-year CB David Amerson a chance to earn significantly more playing time. Wilson turns 29 in March and will likely struggle to find multi-year contract offers.
