Don’t expect RB Emanuel Wilson’s role to increase anytime soon

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was a standout during the 2023 preseason after leading the team with 38 carries for 223 yards (5.9 YPC) and two touchdowns. Green Bay didn’t want to risk cutting the undrafted rookie out of Fort Valley State and have him sign with another team, so they kept him on the active roster. However, Wilson has yet to carve out much of a role during the regular season, and based on Matt LaFleur’s latest comments, things are unlikely to change anytime soon.

“I just think there’s a learning curve for every young player in this league, and you just got prove it through practice,” LaFleur said Wednesday.
