The Colts signed Wilson to their practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson missed all of last season while recovering from a torn ACL but will now get an opportunity with the Colts. The 29-year-old can provide solid depth in the secondary if called upon as starting safety Rodney Thomas is currently dealing with a knee injury.

Wilson (knee) had a tryout with the Colts on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson missed the entire 2022 season while recovering from an ACL tear suffered in Week 9 of the 2021 campaign. His tryout with the Colts indicates he is fianlly back to full health and ready to find a new opportunity. The strong safety will look to make an impression as both a depth safety and kick returner on special teams.

Wilson (knee) has reverted to the Bengals' reserve/PUP list for the remainder of the 2022 season, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from a torn ACL suffered in Week 9 of the 2021 season, and he was designated to return to practice Nov. 14. However, he was not restored to the active roster within his 21-day return window, so he will now remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the 2022 campaign. Wilson will now shift his focus toward recovering before he hits free agency this coming offseason. The strong safety recorded 291 kick return yards before tearing his ACL last season, and his absence should leave Chris Evans and Trent Taylor to continue handling kick returns for Cincinnati moving forward.

EDGE Analysis
Wilson has been cleared to return to practice after having missed the entirety of the 2022 campaign to this point while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 9 of the 2021 season.

Over nine games in 2021, Wilson recorded six tackles while operating mostly as a special teams option.

Wilson (knee) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson will be unavailable through at least the Bengals' first four games of the season. Once healthy, the safety is expected to operate in a depth role in Cincinnati's secondary and will likely make his largest impact on special teams.

Wilson (knee) was placed on the Bengals' active/PUP list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson will not be available to practice in the Bengals' upcoming training camp until he receives an appropriate medical clearance, a move that can happen at any point before the regular season. The 27-year-old served as Cincinnati's primary kick returner before suffering a torn ACL during Week 9 of last season. Wilson should be in the mix for this special-teams role once again when healthy.

Wilson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Wilson was placed on injured reserve Tuesday after tearing his ACL during Sunday's loss to the Browns. He operated as Cincinnati's primary kick returner this season, so his absence will likely create an opportunity for Darius Phillips to take over those duties for the remainder of the 2021 campaign.

Wilson agreed Tuesday with the Bengals on a two-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
A 2017 sixth-round pick, Wilson has mostly made a name for himself on special teams, taking 45 kick returns for 1,251 yards (27.8 average) and two touchdowns. He made two starts at safety in 2019, but he's played far more snaps on special teams (895) than defense (300) through 51 regular-season appearances.
