News

  • Set to return Week 17

    Wilson has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will play in Saturday's Week 17 game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson suffered a concussion Week 15 against New England and didn't play this past Sunday versus Carolina. However, he was able to return to practice in full Thursday, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic, and has been cleared to return to action Saturday. Wilson's return will likely mean reduced defensive snaps for Owen Pappoe.

  • Limited participant in practice

    Wilson (concussion) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough, per Zach Gershman of the team's official site.

    Analysis: Wilson missed the Cardinals' Week 16 overtime loss versus the Panthers with a concussion but is now closer to making his return. However, the 26-year-old will still have to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to play in Saturday's game versus the Rams, and if he ends up being unable to play, Owen Pappoe would likely start in his place.

  • Out vs. Panthers

    Wilson (concussion) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson suffered a concussion early in Arizona's victory over the Patriots this past weekend and was unable to return to the outing. The Penn State product will now be sidelined for his first full game of the year, paving way for second-year pro Owen Pappoe to possibly start, since Wilson's backup Jesse Luketa (thigh) will also miss the game. Wilson will now have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to be able to play in the Cardinals' Week 17 showdown at the Rams.

  • Logs DNP on Wednesday

    Wilson (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson sustained a concussion in the Cardinals' win over the Patriots in Week 15, so it's no surprise that he was unable to practice Wednesday. The veteran linebacker will likely be sidelined for the Week 16 matchup against the Panthers, as he must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before Sunday's contest to be eligible to suit up.

  • Suffers concussion Sunday

    Wilson was ruled out with a concussion for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wilson did not record a statistic before exiting in the first half. He will now have to clear the league's concussion protocol before playing again, and his next opportunity to suit up will come versus the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 22. The sixth-year pro has had a very productive season as one of Arizona's top off-ball linebackers, totaling 67 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and one interception. With Wilson out and Jesse Luketa (thigh) questionable to return, it's likely that Owen Pappoe and/or…read more

  • Sacks Darnold twice

    Wilson logged seven tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defense in Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Wilson had just one sack to his name entering Sunday's game, but he finished with two of the Vikings' five sacks on Sam Darnold. Wilson is now 0.5 sacks shy from matching his career high that he set across 17 regular-season games with the Patriots in 2023. His 62 tackles through 12 games this year are his most since his rookie season with the Browns in 2019 (82 tackles across 16 regular-season games).

  • Logs two turnovers vs. 49ers

    Wilson tallied six tackles (five solo), one interception and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 24-23 win over San Francisco.

    Analysis: Wilson grabbed his first interception of the season Sunday and his first since his rookie year with the Browns in 2019. He followed that up by recovering a Jordan Mason red zone fumble that was caused by Jesse Luketa, which led to the go-ahead 35-yard field goal by Chad Ryland 14 plays later. Through the first five games of the regular season, Wilson has logged 33 tackles (21 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two passes defended (one interception) and one fumble recovery.

  • Gets to Goff on Sunday

    Wilson finished Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams with eight tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks.

    Analysis: Wilson was the third-leading tackler for the Cardinals on Sunday behind Kyzir White (10) and Jalen Thompson (nine). Wilson got to Jared Goff for a six-yard sack early in the second quarter, which led to a Lions punt on the next play. Through three games this season, Wilson has registered 21 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended.

  • Leads Arizona in solo tackles

    Wilson accrued nine tackles (eight solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 34-28 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: Wilson registered a career-high eight solo tackles Sunday, and his nine tackles tied a career best he set in his rookie year with the Browns. The 2019 fifth-round pick finished third on the Cardinals in total tackles behind linebacker Kyzir White (11) and free safety Budda Baker (10). Wilson started in just four regular-season games across 2022 and 2023 with New England, but he started at linebacker Week 1 and played in 37 of 58 defensive snaps.

  • Set to sign with Arizona

    Wilson and the Cardinals have agreed to a three-year, $12.75 million deal that could go as high as $15 million, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The linebacker has played more snaps on special teams than defense in each of the last three seasons. Wilson logged 960 defensive snaps and 82 tackles as a rookie with the Browns in 2019, but he has yet to come close to those numbers since. As a member of the Patriots the last two seasons, Wilson recorded 37 and 36 tackles, respectively.

  • Secures sack in win

    Wilson recorded three tackles (two solo), including a sack, while also deflecting a pass in Thursday's 21-18 win over Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Wilson was able to get to Mitch Trubisky in the first quarter, bringing down the quarterback for his first sack of the year. The linebacker has seen his defensive snaps fluctuate all season, but he was able to make the most of his 19 snaps in Week 14.

  • Seven tackles in relief

    Wilson had seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Wilson has filled in as a depth inside linebacker for the first seven games of the season. He was called upon for more snaps on defense in Week 8, however, after Ja'Whaun Bentley (hamstring) left the game in the second quarter and did not return. Wilson played a season-high 43 snaps on defense (59 percent) and registered a season-high seven tackles in relief. He'll be in line for more work in Week 9 against the Commanders if Bentley is unable to suit up for that contest.

  • Re-ups with New England

    Wilson re-signed with the Patriots on a one-year contract Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Wilson had 26 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery with the Patriots in 2022. In addition to contributing on special teams, the linebacker played 20.9 percent of the team's defensive snaps last year, but he didn't see the field on defense in the final five games.

  • Shipped to New England

    Wilson was traded from the Browns to the Patriots in exchange for Chase Winovich on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: New England and Cleveland swapped two linebackers who could both benefit from a change of scenery. After racking up 82 tackles (57 solo) as a rookie with Cleveland back in 2019, Wilson is now coming off back-to-back disappointing seasons and will work to reinvigorate his career under coach Bill Belichick.

  • Cleared from injury report

    Wilson (personal) is no longer on the Browns' injury report, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Wilson hasn't played since Week 14 due to being in COVID protocols then missing Week 17 due to a personal matter. Wilson will likely return to his regular role as a rotational linebacker Sunday against the Bengals.

  • Out for Week 17

    Wilson (personal) has been ruled out of Monday night's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Wilson didn't travel with the team because he is dealing with a personal issue. The Browns will accordingly be without some of their linebacker depth for a third-straight game.

  • Returns from COVID list

    Wilson was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Wilson tested positive for the virus on Dec. 17 and has missed the Browns' last two games. Wilson's return will strengthen the depth of the linebacker unit Sunday against the Steelers.

  • Won't play Week 15

    Wilson (illness) wasn't reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be available for Monday's game against the Raiders, Dan Labbe of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Even with the NFL pushing back Cleveland's Week 15 game an extra two days in addition to relaxing the return-to-play protocols for vaccinated individuals who test positive for COVID-19, Wilson and several other key Browns players weren't able to clear the necessary protocols prior to Monday's 5 p.m. ET kickoff. Wilson is one of three Cleveland linebackers that remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list along with Tony Fields and Jacob Phillips.

  • Tests positive for coronavirus

    Wilson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday after testing positive for the virus, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson is now set to miss his first game of the season while in the health and safety protocols. He's mostly played special teams of late, so his absence may not affect Cleveland's defensive game plan.

  • Busy in loss to Pats

    Wilson notched seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 45-7 loss to New England.

    Analysis: The blowout nature of Sunday's loss allowed the Patriots to safely lean on the ground game to close things out, so Wilson was heavily involved as a run stopper. Still, he only played 37 percent of defensive snaps and will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes ahead of Week 11's matchup against the Lions.

  • Ready to go

    Wilson (calf) is active for Thursday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Wilson picked up a calf issue during the team's Week 6 contest against Arizona but won't miss any game action as a result. His steadiest role has come on special teams, and he's picked up 13 tackles overall in six games on the campaign.

  • Questionable for Week 7

    Wilson (calf) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Broncos, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Wilson has been a limited participant in practice every day this week after tweaking his calf sometime following Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. If the linebacker is unable to play Thursday, expect Tony Fields or Elijah Lee to take over as the starting Weakside linebacker.

  • Not on injury report

    Wilson (shoulder) isn't listed on the Browns' injury report Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Wilson injured his shoulder in the Browns' preseason opener and has yet to make it off the injury report since then. An MRI revealed Wilson sustained a Grade 1 AC joint sprain, but it seems the linebacker will be able to play Week 1 against the Chiefs.

  • Day-to-day following MRI news

    Wilson is day-to-day after an MRI on his shoulder revealed a Grade 1 AC joint sprain, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Wilson hurt his shoulder in Week 1 of preseason against Jacksonville but avoided a serious injury. It remains to be seen whether he'll get in any practice participation this week before the Browns face the Giants in Week 2 of preseason.

    Published: Sun, Aug 15 at 7:58pm by Rotowire.com

  • Getting MRI on shoulder

    Wilson is undergoing an MRI to determine the extent of his shoulder injury, per coach Kevin Stefanski, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Wilson's injury -- which was sustained in the Browns' preseason opener -- should be clarified once the MRI's results become known. It wouldn't be surprising to see the linebacker sit out Week 2 of preseason against the Giants.

  • Leaves with shoulder injury

    Wilson left Saturday's preseason game with a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Wilson was listed as questionable to return, but it's unlikely he will see any further action Saturday night.

  • Will start against Jets

    Wilson will start at weakside linebacker Sunday against the Jets.

    Analysis: Wilson surprisingly did not see the field Week 15 against the Giants, but the team never elaborated on the reason for his benching. The Browns don't have much of a choice in using the second-year player this week, as both B.J. Goodson and Jacob Phillips were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. That leaves Wilson and Tae Davis as the two confirmed starters, with Sione Takitaki, Malcolm Smith and Elijah Lee as the only other healthy linebackers on the active roster.

  • Returning from benching

    Wilson, who was inactive last week, will be on the active roster Sunday against the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Wilson was benched last week, but defensive coordinator Joe Woods said the linebacker is in the plans for this week. Woods would not elaborate as to why Wilson was benched.

  • Clear from injury

    Wilson (head injury) was a full participant during the Browns' practice session Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Wilson had to exit Sunday's win against the Titans in order to be evaluated for a head injury, but he ultimately was not diagnosed with a concussion. Now seemingly in the clear by virtue of having a full practice under his belt, Wilson will presumably return to his starting weak-side linebacker spot for a crucial Week 14 Monday night matchup against the Ravens.

  • Taken to locker room

    Wilson is being evaluated for a concussion, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson contributed five tackles and one tackle for loss prior to his departure. The Alabama product has dealt with knee and hip issues during his second pro campaign, but now he'll endure his first stint in concussion protocol. As long as Wilson is unavailable, Elijah Lee is expected to serve as a fill-in at an outside linebacker spot.

  • Suiting up against Philly

    Wilson (hip) is active Week 11 against Philadelphia, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Wilson was able to log one limited practice on Friday, and that will ultimately be enough for the second-year linebacker to get clearance to play. Cleveland will need all the help it can get on defense this week with top pass rusher Myles Garrett (illness) sidelined for the contest.

  • Carries questionable tag

    Wilson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Wilson surfaced on the injury report Thursday when he logged a DNP, and it's discouraging to see his participation downgrade during the practice week. Nevertheless, he still has a chance to play this week, but there's a chance he's on a pitch count if that happens. The second-year linebacker has averaged just 3.2 tackles per game over the past seven weeks, so his status shouldn't disrupt the plans of fantasy managers.

  • Sitting out practice

    Wilson didn't participate in Thursday's practice due to a hip injury, Andrew Gribble of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The specifics of the injury remain unclear, as Wilson saw action in 54 percent of defensive snaps in last week's win over the Texans. Expect Wilson's practice status Friday be a better indication of his chances to suit up in Sunday's game against the Eagles, but if he's forced to miss time, Malcolm Smith would be in line for the start at weak-side linebacker.

  • More run Week 4

    Wilson recorded one tackle and played 27 snaps in Sunday's 49-38 win over Dallas.

    Analysis: Wilson increased his snap count from six to 27 in his second week back from a knee injury. The 2019 fifth-round pick, who averaged 60 snaps per contest during his rookie season, is expected to be a mainstay in the Browns' linebacking corps once he's ready to play more.

  • Barely plays in Week 3

    Wilson logged six defensive snaps in Sunday's 34-20 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Coach Kevin Stefanski relayed that this was the plan, as the Browns wanted to ease Wilson back into game action, per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal. Wilson's expected to play more going forward, but he still may not log a full workload in Week 4 against the Cowboys.

  • Set for 2020 debut

    Wilson (knee) is active Week 3 against Washington.

    Analysis: Wilson had been lined up to make his season debut following a week of limited practice sessions, but it doesn't appear he'll start just yet, as the gameday report lists Malcolm Smith as the starter at weak-side linebacker.

  • Limited in practice Friday

    Wilson (knee) was limited during Friday's practice and is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus Washington, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Wilson was limited during every practice this week, but he has a chance to make his season debut Sunday. He's expected to start at weak-side linebacker if he indeed suits up, but if he misses a third straight contest, Malcolm Smith will likely enjoy a high snap volume again.

  • Downgraded Wednesday

    Wilson (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Wilson returned to practice Monday after he missed the past two games of the season with the knee issue. This is certainly bad news for his Week 3 availability, however, it's not enough to completely rule him out again. Once Wilson finally returns, he'll likely assume his starting role as the weak-side linebacker on defense.

  • Participates in practice Monday

    Wilson (knee) returned to practice Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Wilson missed the first two games but could make his season debut in Week 3 versus Washington. It will depend how he responds to a full week of practice, but he's on the right track for now. If Wilson indeed returns, he's expected to start at weak-side linebacker, where he posted 82 tackles, seven pass breakups, a sack and an interception over 16 games last season.

  • Won't suit up Thursday

    Wilson (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bengals, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Wilson was unable to practice all week, so he'll sit out for a second consecutive game. His next chance to make his season debut will come against Washington in Week 3.

  • Can't practice Monday

    Wilson (knee) did not practice Monday.

    Analysis: Wilson missed Week 1 with a sprain in his left knee. With a short-week matchup against the Bengals on Thursday, he may be hard-pressed to take the field.

  • Can't play Week 1

    Wilson (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson is managing a hyperextended left knee suffered in mid-August, for which he was handed an initial recovery timetable of 4-to-6 weeks. It's encouraging that the second-year pro managed to avoid surgery, but he'll have to progress ahead of schedule in his recovery for any chance of returning to the field Week 2 against Cincinnati.

  • No surgery needed

    Wilson confirmed Monday that he won't require surgery to repair his hyperextended left knee, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: This is outstanding news for the second-year pro, as he's now expected to be sidelined for about 4-to-6 weeks tending to the injury. The 22-year-old was impressive as a rookie, racking up 82 tackles (57 solo), one sack and an interception in 16 games last season. As long as Wilson is sidelined, look for Tae Davis to ascend to the top of the depth chart at weak-side linebacker.

  • Expected to avoid surgery

    Wilson is not expected to require surgery to repair his hyperextended left knee, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson could carry a four- to six-week recovery timetable if he's indeed able to avoid surgery, through previous reports had him pegged to miss at least six weeks. If it looks as though the second-year linebacker is on track for the latter end of that recovery timeframe, the Browns could realistically opt to place him on the PUP list to start the season.

  • Could return in 2020

    Wilson (knee) "definitely has a chance" to return in 2020, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson hyperextended his knee during Tuesday's practice and will get a second opinion from orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews in the near future. He's expected to miss at least six to eight weeks, which means the Browns may place him on the PUP list to start the season. However, it's positive news that the second-year pro is expected back at some point this year since he piled up 82 tackles and seven pass breakups as a starter last year.

  • Hopes for 6-to-8 week timetable

    Wilson is hopeful he can avoid surgery on his hyperextended left knee and return to action within 6-to-8 weeks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson won't officially know whether he'll require a procedure on his knee until the swelling decreases, which could take time considering that he suffered the injury just two days ago. The 22-year-old was recently demoted from his position as the Browns' starting weak-side linebacker due to a horse-collar tackle that caused Nick Chubb to enter the concussion protocol, so Wilson may have to settle for a limited role early on even if he avoids season-ending surgery.

  • Will see specialist

    Wilson (knee) is scheduled to receive a second opinion on his injury from orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews this week, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Wilson may be facing a long rehab after suffering a hyperextended left knee Tuesday. There's still a lot of swelling, and he may not know for a few weeks if season-ending surgery is necessary. Prior to sustaining the injury, Wilson made news for his horse-collar tackle of Nick Chubb, which resulted in the running back sustaining a concussion. That reckless play prompted his demotion from starting weakside linebacker, allowing Tae Davis to climb to the top of the depth chart.

  • Set to miss time

    Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee during Tuesday's practice and will miss time, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Wilson will need to undergo further evaluations before a timetable for his return can be determined, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that options as significant as season-ending surgery are within the realm of possibility. Of course, the Browns are hoping for a less drastic prognosis. Wilson stands to play a significant role in the team's linebacker corps in 2020 when (or if) he's available.

  • Suffers knee injury

    Wilson was carted off the practice field Tuesday with a knee injury, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Wilson is set to undergo further evaluation to determine the severity of his injury. The 2019 fifth-round pick grew into a significant role for Cleveland as a rookie, and he could realistically kick of the 2020 campaign as the starter at middle linebacker if healthy.

  • Man in the middle

    Wilson is the Browns' starting middle linebacker as the roster currently stands, Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Wilson, a fifth-round pick out of Alabama in 2019, was needed for significant duty following Christian Kirksey's season-ending pectoral injury in Week 2. The rookie grew into the role over the course of the season, taking pointers from the departed Joe Schobert, but it remains to be seen if the Browns will enter the season with Wilson as the starter in the middle. After losing both Schobert and Kirksey to free agency, Cleveland may target linebacker, among other spots, in the upcoming NFL…read more

  • Team high tackler in finale

    Wilson led the Browns with nine tackles in a 33-23 loss to the Bengals in Week 17. He finished the season with 82 tackles, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble over 16 games.

    Analysis: Wilson, a 2019 fifth-round draft pick out of Alabama, was promoted to a full-time starting role after Christian Kirksey (pectoral) suffered a season-ending injury in a Week 2 win over the Jets. The rookie played all but 10 snaps over the final 14 games of the season. Pro Football Focus evaluated Wilson's performance as replacement level with a grade of 42.9, per Scott Patsko of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Despite that low mark, Wilson gained experience that should help to improve his future…read more
