On Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers made a quiet addition to their 53-man roster. The Packers had an open spot on the roster after placing offensive tackle Caleb Jones on the Non-Football Injury list last week, and they have decided to fill it by signing a player off another team’s practice squad.
Incoming is linebacker Eric Wilson, who is in his sixth NFL season after playing college football at the University of Cincinnati. After going undrafted in 2017, Wilson signed with the Minnesota Vikings as a rookie free agent immediately after the draft. He spent the next four seasons in Minnesota, serving as a spot starter and a key special teams contributor for three years before taking over as a full-time starter for the 2020 season after Anthony Barr was injured.
