PACKERS ACQUIRE OFFENSIVE TACKLE JAMIE WILSON FROM CAROLINA

The Green Bay Packers have acquired offensive tackle Jamie Wilson from the Carolina Panthers for an undisclosed, future draft choice, Executive Vice President/General Manager Ron Wolf announced today.
A third-year pro, the 6-foot-6, 308-pound Wilson was one of two undrafted free agents to make the Panthers' 53-player active roster in 1997, after earning All-Southern Conference honors as a member of Marshall University's offensive line in 1996.
Inactive for every game except Carolina's season finale against St. Louis as a rookie, Wilson impressed the Panthers' offensive coaches during the team's 1998 training camp before suffering a neck injury in a preseason game (August 30) and being placed on injured reserve for the regular season.
A 44-game starter as a collegian, Wilson helped the Thundering Herd win the Division 1-AA championship as a senior, starting 15 games for a team that averaged 42 points and 450 yards per game.
Wilson, assigned jersey number 73, is scheduled to report this afternoon.
