Green Bay Packers undrafted rookie running back Emanuel Wilson is going to go from being on IR since Week 12 to now likely playing a role in the team’s pursuit of a playoff berth in Week 18 vs. the Chicago Bears.
Wilson was activated off injured reserve on Saturday.
“It’s pretty cool,” said Wilson at his locker on Friday about being back on the field on Sunday. “It’d be pretty cool just because I get more opportunities.”
With A.J. Dillon already ruled out for Sunday’s game as he deals with a stinger, Wilson could step right into that second running back role behind Jones.
