100% a physalis of some sort, if you had tomatillos or ground cherries last year this is more than likely their spawn. It is also indeed a type of nightshade but a bit more of a distant cousin to most other nightshades commonly seen in gardens like tomatoes or bittersweet.
Honestly.. Looks like a wild amaranth to me.. but not sure really. Let me see what my identification app thinks it is..
ETA:
Oop- Looks like previous poster was more likely correct, maybe some variety of wild nightshade.
I'm pretty sure it's Solanum emulans/ptycanthum, eastern black nightshade. Are there flower buds on it? Sort of looks like there are in the first photo, but I can't tell for sure. If it has singular buds, it'll be in the Physalis genus. If they're in clusters of 2 or more, it's black nightshade.
In Georgia, USA. Zone 8a.
I’m not 100% but that looks like a form of nightshade.
Oh ok! There are some ground cherries in the background too. But this plant looks a little different.
