August 9, 2008 Detroit Lions cornerback Stanley Wilson will miss the rest of the season with a torn Achilles' tendon, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:The four-year veteran was injured in Thursday night's preseason opener against the New York Giants, a 13-10 Detroit victory. A torn Achilles' tendon typically requires up to a year of rehabilitation after surgery.
April 12, 2008 Stanley Wilson has re-signed with the Lions, according to the AP. It was a one-year deal, and financial terms were not disclosed.
Our View:He provides solid veteran leadership on the field, but his fantasy value remains limited.
November 29, 2007 The Lions placed Stanley Wilson on inured reserve with a groin injury on Wednesday, according to the Detroit Free Press. He aggravated a knee injury during Thursday’s game against the Packers.
Our View:Wilson had dropped down the depth chart because of the injury, so his absence should not have a noticeable effect on the Lions or IDP owners.
April 13, 2007 Lions defensive coordinator Joe Barry said Stanley Wilson, not free agent acquisition Travis Fisher, will starter opposite Fernando Bryant at corner, according to the Detroit Free Press. "He can run. He does have speed," Barry said of Wilson. "But also he's a tough kid. He's willing. He will tackle. He will stick his face in there."
