Wilson scored his first career touchdown in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys, finishing with one catch for five yards. Jalen Hurts scrambled and found Wilson open in the back of the end zone on third and goal to put the Eagles up 20-6 early in the third quarter. The catch was just the second of the rookie receiver's short career and marked the first time he'd been targeted since Week 4.

Wilson scored his first career touchdown in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys, finishing with one catch for five yards. Jalen Hurts scrambled and found Wilson open in the back of the end zone on third and goal to put the Eagles up 20-6 early in the third quarter. The catch was just the second of the rookie receiver's short career and marked the first time he'd been targeted since Week 4.
Wilson saw the field for 35 offensive snaps in Week 9 against the Jaguars but wasn't targeted a single time. Wilson's role increased with A.J. Brown exiting with a knee injury just before halftime, but not to the point where Jalen Hurts ever actually looked his way. The rookie has just one catch for nine yards this season. With Brown looking like he'll have a chance to return without missing any time, Wilson's role may shrink again next week.
Wilson cleared concussion protocol Friday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports. Wilson sustained a concussion during the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The rookie wide receiver out of Florida State has caught just one of his six targets for nine yards through Philadelphia's first four games. He's expected to play behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson in Week 6, when the Eagles host the Browns.
Wilson (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday. Wilson has now logged back-to-back full sessions as he maneuvers through the league's five-step protocols. Assuming he suffers no setbacks in his recovery, he appears on a path to suiting up Sunday against the Browns. However, he'll still need clearance from an independent neurologist before the league allows him to exit protocols.
Wilson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session. Wilson was removed during the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers in order to be evaluated for a concussion. The Eagles had a bye in Week 5, and he was able to practice without restrictions Wednesday, though he will have to progress through the league's five-step protocols in order to be cleared ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. The rookie sixth-round pick has one catch (on six targets) for nine yards through four regular-season games.
Wilson is being evaluated for a concussion Sunday against the Buccaneers. Wilson had seen two targets today with no catches before suffering the injury. With little time left in the game, it's possible the rookie receiver may remain on the sidelines regardless, but if he did suffer a concussion, he'll enter the league's five-step protocols before he'll be cleared to return to action.
Wilson pulled in one of two targets for nine yards in Monday's win over the Saints. Wilson played a season-high 21 offensive snaps, with A.J. Brown (hamstring) on the shelf for the second straight game, and while the 2024 sixth-round pick didn't have a major impact on the outcome of the game, he will have been happy to record his first career reception. It's possible his role expands in Week 4 if both Brown and DeVonta Smith (concussion) miss out, but he may still be behind Jahan Dotson and Parris Campbell.
Wilson (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Zach Berman of PHLY Sports reports. Wilson didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but appears to have gotten over his hamstring injury Friday, unlike fellow Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring), who has been ruled out for a second consecutive game. The 6-foot-6 Wilson has yet to record an NFL catch, but the rookie sixth-round pick's large catch radius makes him a candidate to take on some of the red-zone jump ball targets that usually go Brown's way.
Wilson (hamstring) did not practice Thursday. Wilson has logged back-to-back DNP's to start the week, which doesn't bode well for his chances of playing in Week 3 against the Saints. The rookie sixth-round pick will have one more chance to practice in some capacity Friday. The Eagles' wide receiver corps has been hindered with injuries to Wilson and A.J. Brown (hamstring), and if one or neither are able to play Sunday, then Jahan Dotson and Britain Covey would see more work with the first-team offense alongside DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert.
