Johnny Wilson: Everything you need to know

The Eagles placed Wilson (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The second-year wideout suffered a season-ending injury to his left knee during practice Tuesday. Wilson previously appeared on track for a depth role, likely standing fourth or fifth on the depth chart at wide receiver. His injury gives recent trade acquisition John Metchie a better chance to make the Week 1 roster.

Wilson (knee/ankle) will undergo season-ending surgery, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Wilson had been enjoying a strong training camp and preseason that had him on pace to easily make the 53-man roster and possibly even challenge for playing time in three-receiver sets. Instead, the 2024 sixth-round pick will miss the entire 2025 campaign after suffering a serious injury to his knee and ankle Tuesday. Jahan Dotson and John Metchie are the top candidates for playing time behind A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (groin).

Wilson was carted off the practice field with an apparent left leg injury Tuesday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports. Wilson hobbled off the field and couldn't put any weight on his left leg, per Kubena. Wilson has seen extensive preseason action, logging 65 offensive snaps through two games, and has posted a 3-73-0 receiving line on six targets. Wilson is a powerful blocker in the running game as a wide receiver for Philly.
