Wilson posted 75 tackles (including 3.0 sacks), five pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery in 16 contests during the 2024 campaign. Wilson kicked off his career with 82 tackles in 2019 but hasn't reached that mark in five seasons since then. His tackle tally in 2024 was the closest he's come to doing so, which was helped along by a 74.3 percent snap share in the games in which he suited up. With fellow linebacker and unrestricted free agent Kyzir White and his 137 tackles potentially moving in the offseason, Wilson, who is under contract through 2026, could be poised for a true breakout next season.

Wilson (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. The linebacker was listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week. In 2024, Wilson has 73 tackles (44 solo), including 3.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including an interception, and a fumble recovery on 688 defensive snaps.
Wilson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against San Francisco. Wilson was limited in practice all week due to an ankle injury he likely picked up during the Cardinals' Week 17 loss to the Rams. Rookie fifth-round pick Xavier Thomas would be in line for increased snaps with Arizona's first-team defense in Sunday's regular-season finale if Wilson is unable to play.
Wilson (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports. Wilson returned from a one-game absence due to a concussion and finished this past Saturday's 13-9 loss to the Rams with six tackles (four solo) while playing 39 snaps (38 on defense, one on special teams). The 2019 fifth-round pick may have injured his ankle during the loss, and his practice participation over the next two days will indicate his status heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against the 49ers.
Wilson tallied six tackles (four solo) during Saturday's 13-9 loss to the Rams. Wilson returned from a one-game absence Saturday after clearing the league's five-step concussion protocols. He ended up playing 70 percent of the Cardinals' defensive snaps and finished tied with Jalen Thompson for third-most tackles on the team behind Kyzir White (eight) and Budda Baker (seven). Wilson is up to 73 combined tackles through 15 games, and he'll look to match or surpass his career best from the 2019 campaign (82 tackles through 16 regular-season games) in Week 18 against the 49ers.
Wilson has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will play in Saturday's Week 17 game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Wilson suffered a concussion Week 15 against New England and didn't play this past Sunday versus Carolina. However, he was able to return to practice in full Thursday, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic, and has been cleared to return to action Saturday. Wilson's return will likely mean reduced defensive snaps for Owen Pappoe.
Wilson (concussion) was a limited participant in Arizona's practice Tuesday, per Zach Gershman of the team's official site. Wilson missed the Cardinals' Week 16 overtime loss versus the Panthers with a concussion but is now closer to making his return. However, the 26-year-old will still have to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to play in Saturday's game versus the Rams, and if he ends up being unable to play, Owen Pappoe would likely start in his place.
Wilson (concussion) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Wilson suffered a concussion early in Arizona's victory over the Patriots this past weekend and was unable to return to the outing. The Penn State product will now be sidelined for his first full game of the year, paving way for second-year Owen Pappoe to possibly start as Wilson's backup Jesse Luketa will also miss the game. Wilson will now have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol for the Cardinals' Week 17 showdown at the Rams.
Wilson (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Wilson sustained a concussion in the Cardinals' win over the Patriots in Week 15, so it's no surprise that he was unable to practice Wednesday. The veteran linebacker will likely be sidelined for the Week 16 matchup against the Panthers, as he must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before Sunday's contest to be eligible to suit up.
