Mack Wilson Agrees With Cardinals On Three-Year Deal
Former New England Patriots linebacker Mack Wilson agreed to terms with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday on a three-year, $12.75 million deal worth up to $15 million, according to a source. The Cardinals have been busy adding to their defense in free agency on Monday, also adding defensive tackles Justin Jones and Bilal Nichols. The 26-year-old Wilson was formerly a fifth-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2019 out of Alabama. After spending the first three years of his career with the Browns, he recorded 39 solo tackles, five sacks, six tackles for loss, six QB hits, four passes defensed and three forced fumbles in 34 games (four starts) for the Patriots the last two seasons combined. While Wilson will give Arizona more linebacking depth, he can be avoided for IDP fantasy purposes.
Mack Wilson Sr. Questionable To Return With Head Injury
New England Patriots linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. (head) departed during the first half of Week 10 versus the Indianapolis Colts. He is officially listed as questionable to return. Wilson isn't normally a big name on defense, but he was bumped into the starting lineup on Sunday with Ja'Whaun Bentley (hamstring) inactive. Calvin Munson will see more snaps until Wilson is able to return.
Cleveland Browns linebacker Mack Wilson (shoulder) is listed as day-to-day. An MRI confirmed that the 23-year-old suffered a Grade 1 sprain of the AC joint in his shoulder, and it came during Saturday's preseason encounter with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wilson took to Twitter to report that he was "good," although he could miss some time moving ahead. A 2019 fifth-round pick out of Alabama, Wilson had a solid rookie season. However, after dealing with knee and hip injuries during the 2020-21 campaign, he finished with 39 total tackles, 43 less than he had during his inaugural year. Nonetheless, managers needing an IDP option should keep him in mind, especially since he has an obvious upside and should see the field plenty this coming season.
Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns promising linebacker Mack Wilson (knee) suffered a significant hyperextended knee in practice on Tuesday and had to be carted off the field, according to sources. Wilson will miss some time, but an exact timetable won't be clear until he's evaluated further. The 22-year-old fell into a starting role in his rookie season last year because of injuries and impressed with 82 combined tackles, one interception, one forced fumble and one sack in 16 games (14 starts). He's worth keeping an eye on in IDP leagues if he continues to see a starting role, but this injury could keep him from being ready to suit up for the start of the regular season.
Cleveland Browns linebacker Mack Wilson (knee) was carted off the field at practice on Tuesday with a knee injury and is undergoing further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury. Wilson ended up making 14 starts in 16 games in his rookie season in 2019 after being drafted in the fifth round out of Alabama. The 22-year-old compiled 82 combined tackles, one interception, one forced fumble and one sack for the Browns. He's not quite on the IDP radar just yet, but Wilson is one to keep an eye on after an impressive rookie season. Hopefully his injury in training camp isn't a serious one.
