Muhammad Wilkerson Fantasy Stats

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle) is expected to make a full recovery after having season-ending ankle surgery on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Wilkerson was injured in Week 3 against the Redskins and was placed on Injured Reserve last week. He had signed a one-year, $4.7 million deal with Green Bay. The 28-year-old had five tackles in his three games this year.

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle) underwent surgery on Sunday and will likely miss the rest of the season. McCarthy said it was a "significant" injury. Wilkerson had only two tackles on the season, but nevertheless it's a blow to Green Bay's pass rush moving forward.

Free-agent defensive tackle Muhammad Wilkerson will sign with the Green Bay Packers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal will be a one-year, $8 million one, a good buy-low opportunity for the 2011 first-round pick. Wilkerson has seen his sack totals drop in each of the last three seasons, but he did have 10.5 sacks in 2013 and 12 sacks in 2015. There is still a chance that Wilkerson can be disruptive, and this is a good buy-low move for the Packers.

Free-agent defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson said he is visiting with the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. After signing a big extension with the Jets, Wilkerson bombed out and wore out his welcome in the Big Apple. However, he's a high-end talent on the defensive line and may benefit from a change of scenery. He's just two years removed from posting a career-high 12 sacks with the Jets.

Free-agent defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson left his visit with the Packers without a deal and will meet with the New Orleans Saints next, according to sources. Wilkerson wore out his welcome with the Jets after signing a big extension, but a change of scenery may serve him well. The Saints could really use help on their D-line, and Wilkerson could be a sleeper in IDP leagues. Remember, he's only two years removed from a 12-sack season with Gang Green.

Former New York Jet defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is set to visit Green Bay on Wednesday. Wilkerson was officially released by New York on Monday. While his play has still been fairly solid, it did not merit the $16.75 million he would have received next year. Wilkerson looks like he may be interested in reuniting with Mike Pettine, who was defensive coordinator for the Jets during Wilkersons first two years in the league. Pettine was recently hired to be Green Bays new defensive coordinator. In addition to Pettine, Green Bay has a new general manager in Brian Gutekunst who is aiming to be more aggressive than his predecessor. Signing a talented and useful player like Wilkerson, even while defensive end is not a position of need in Green Bay, would certainly qualify. The move would marginally help Green Bays pass rush. However, Green Bay would still be in need of an elite outside pass rusher.

New York Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson will carry a $16.75 million salary for the 2018 season, and the only question is whether the Jets designate him a pre-June 1 cut or post-June 1 cut. His 2018 salary cap hit will be $20 million. The Jets can clear $11 million in cap space by cutting him before June 1 and $17 million in savings after June 1. Wilkerson was benched for the final two games of the season for his bad attitude and chronic lateness. While Wilkerson's play has tailed off the last two seasons with New York (eight sacks), a change of scenery could do him well. After all, he's only two years removed from a 12-sack season in 2015.

It sounds as though the New York Jets just might be done with defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson. When asked if Wilkerson would return this week, Jets head coach Todd Bowles was non-committal and said its an internal thing. Wilkerson was left at home in Week 15 after missing a team meeting, amidst several other reports that hes generally been a disruptive, bad influence this season. Its been quite the fall from grace for Wilkerson, who was one of the teams cornerstone players upon signing his big extension in 2016. The 2011 first-round pick wont have trouble finding work upon his likely release this offseason, though hell struggle to find the money hes used to making given the baggage he brings with him. The Jets defense will miss the Wilkerson of old, but they certainly won't be any worse off in 2018 without the Wilkerson we've seen in 2017.

This should tell you all you need to know about New York Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkersons standing with the team. The Jets have elected to keep Wilkerson home for Week 15 rather than bringing him along to do battle against the New Orleans Saints. Head coach Todd Bowles told the media its a coachs decision rather than an injury-related one. Wilkerson has been flat-out bad since signing a big extension prior to the 2016 season, but the Jets can get out of the contract this offseason. It is all but guaranteed the 30-year-old will be looking for a new home come March. The Jetsdefense wont suffer much without Wilkerson given how bad hes been, but you werent starting them anyway, especially against the Saints.
