GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers have boosted their special teams by re-signing linebacker Eric Wilson.
Wilson, 29, 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.
