The hits keep coming. Veteran linebacker Eric Wilson left the New Orleans Saints practice squad for a better deal with the Green Bay Packers, where he’ll receive a pay raise and more opportunities to get on the field. The sixth-year veteran competed for a spot on New Orleans’ roster throughout training camp and initially joined backups Nephi Sewell and Chase Hansen on the practice squad; Hansen was later promoted to the 53-man roster along with Demario Davis, Pete Werner, Kaden Elliss, Andrew Dowell, and Zack Baun.
Wilson hadn’t appeared in a game yet this season, but this is another hit to the depth chart and the Saints may make a move to replace him.
