The Packers re-signed Wilson on Friday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran linebacker spent each of the last two seasons with the Packers, and he'll remain in Green Bay for the immediate future after re-signing with the team Friday. Wilson has seen limited work on defense during his time in Green Bay, but he's been an integral part of the Packers' special-teams unit. Over the last two years, Wilson has logged more special-teams snaps (308) and tackles (25) than any other Packer. Expect the 30-year-old to continue serving as an essential part of the team's special-teams unit in 2024.

Wilson finished Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings with six tackles (three solo).
EDGE Analysis
Wilson stepped into the starting inside linebacker role alongside Quay Walker after Isaiah McDuffie was forced out of Sunday's game due to a concussion. McDuffie drew the start in Week 17 after De'Vondre Campbell was ruled out ahead of the game with a neck injury. If neither McDuffie or Campbell are able to progress through practice leading up to Week 18 against the Bears, Wilson could be in line to draw the start at inside linebacker alongside Walker.

The Packers signed Wilson off of New Orleans' practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old linebacker recorded 43 tackles over seven games with Philadelphia during the first half of the 2021 season, which prorates to 104 tackles over a full 17-game season. However, he'll likely just play in a depth role in Green Bay as long as De'Vondre Campbell and Quay Walker remain healthy.

The Saints waived Wilson on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson signed with the Saints this offseason and was expected to serve as a depth linebacker in 2022, but he finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The 27-year-old linebacker recorded 46 tackles and an interception across 14 appearances in 2021.

EDGE Analysis
Wilson spent time with the Texans and Eagles last season after spending the previous four with the Vikings. He totaled 14 games in 2021, recording 43 tackles, a pass defensed and interception. Wilson should help provide depth to the Saints' linebacker unit this upcoming season.

Wilson was claimed by Houston on Thursday.
EDGE 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.

Wilson was waived by the Eagles on Wednesday.
EDGE 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.
