Wilkerson had his suspension lifted by the commissioner Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilkerson hasn't played in the league since 2018, when he suffered a season-ending ankle injury with the Packers. Given his injury history and off-the-field issues, it's tough to determine whether the 30-year-old will garner that much attention from teams, but given the need for players in 2020 nothing can be ruled out.

Wilkerson (ankle) was arrested in New Jersey earlier this week and charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilkerson was previously arrested on a DWI charge last June, and he may now be required to serve an NFL suspension following a second such incident. The veteran defensive end last took the field in 2018 with Green Bay, appearing in three games before suffering a season-ending broken ankle that required surgery. He's presumably healthy now, but his ongoing legal trouble may hurt his chances of getting another NFL opportunity anytime soon.

Wilkerson (ankle) was arrested Saturday for driving while intoxicated, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilkerson was placed on injured reserve last season after suffering a broken ankle Week 3. He said he wanted to re-sign with the Packers, but he's still a free agent and may now need to serve an NFL suspension.

Wilkerson (ankle) intends to re-sign with Green Bay ahead of the 2019 season, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports. "I like it here a lot," Wilkerson said. "I came here to prove that I can play at a high level and that was cut short. But that's how the game goes sometimes. I definitely want to get another shot to show what I can do."
EDGE Analysis
Wilkerson, who signed with the Packers this past offseason, only lasted until Week 3 before fracturing and tearing "most if not all... of [the] ligaments" in his left ankle, and there remains no timetable for his return to the field. It's possible Green Bay could get him at a discounted price tag this time around given the injury risks he could be perceived to have, making his re-signing a low-risk, high-reward proposition given Wilkerson's past production as a pass rusher.

The Packers officially placed Wilkerson (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilkerson underwent a surgical procedure on the ankle he broke in last week's loss to the Redskins, so it was only a matter of time before he was placed on IR. It is unfortunate for the veteran lineman, because he signed a one-year, $5 million contract in the offseason with the goal of returning to the Pro Bowl form he displayed earlier in his career and securing one last big contract. He will spend the remainder of the season recovering and looking ahead to next year. Montravius Adams will presumably see his role on the line increased as a result.

Wilkerson (ankle) will miss the rest of the season, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Signed to a one-year, $5 million contract this offseason, Wilkerson managed just five tackles and no sacks in three games with the Packers. He reportedly suffered a broken ankle during Sunday's loss to Washington, with the possibility of additional damage around his foot/leg. Montravius Adams and Dean Lowry will take on larger roles along the defensive line for Green Bay.

Wilkerson (ankle) had a surgical procedure in the Washington area after suffering a significant injury during Sunday's loss to the Redskins, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinelreports.
EDGE Analysis
It isn't a good sign that Wilkerson stayed behind in Washington rather than traveling back to Green Bay with his teammates. The Packers haven't provided any kind of timeline, but this sounds like something that will probably lead to a multi-week absence even if it isn't a season-ender. Wilkerson has just five tackles and no sacks in three games with the Packers.

Wilkerson will not return to Sunday's game against the Redskins due to an ankle injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilkerson was taken to the hospital after suffering the injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network also reported. The 2015 All-Pro seems to have suffered a significant injury, though details remain undisclosed. Expect an update on Wilkerson's health shortly following Sunday's game.

Wilkerson (groin) participated in practice Sunday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic Wisconsin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Held out of practice and Thursday's preseason game against the Titans due to a sore groin, Wilkerson joined fellow defensive lineman Mike Daniels in drills Sunday. The duo, along with Kenny Clark, will compose a lethal front line once the regular season kicks off in September.

Wilkerson did not participate in Tuesday's practice due to groin soreness, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fortunately for the Packers, Wilkerson's injury isn't being viewed as a serious one, and the veteran defensive end is likely just getting the day off as a precautionary measure. Despite coming off back-to-back down seasons following an All-Pro 2015 campaign, Wilkerson is expected to start on the defensive line in Green Bay alongside Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark.
