GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers have boosted their special teams by re-signing linebacker Eric Wilson. The 29-year-old Wilson had 13 special-teams tackles in 2022 and 11 more last year to lead the Packers in each of those seasons. He also had 24 tackles on defense last season. He made a critical fumble recovery at the end of teammate Keisean Nixon's 73-yard punt return during the Packers' 24-21 NFC divisional playoff loss at San Francisco. Wilson previously played for the Minnesota Vikings (2017-20), Philadelphia Eagles (2021) and Houston Texans (2021). The Vikings signed him as an undrafted free agent from Cincinnati.
