The Detroit Lions officially cut WR Cedrick Wilson from injured reserve with an injury settlement on Wednesday, per the NFL Transactions wire.
Wilson, 30, is a former sixth-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2018. He agreed to a four-year, $2.6 million contract with Dallas but spent his rookie season on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
The Cowboys waived Wilson coming out of the preseason and later re-signed him to their practice squad. He was promoted to the active roster a few weeks later.
Dallas brought Wilson back on a restricted free-agent deal worth $2.183 million for the 2021 season. He was then testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent when he agreed to a three-year, $22.8 million deal with the Dolphins.
Wilson agreed to a pay cut and a shortened deal and became a free agent after the 2023 season. He then signed a two-year deal with the Saints, but agreed to another pay cut entering the 2025 season. The Dolphins signed him off New Orleans’ practice squad in October.
The Lions signed him to a contract in May but placed him on injured reserve this week.
In 2025, Wilson appeared in 10 games for the Dolphins and recorded five receptions on nine targets for 44 yards (8.8 YPC).
