Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing knee and ankle surgery following a practice injury. He appeared to get rolled up on during a Saquon Barkley run, went awkwardly to the ground, and was assisted off the field favoring his left leg. A 2024 sixth-round pick out of Florida State, Wilson (6-foot-6, 228 pounds) was competing to be the fourth wide receiver and was valued for blocking and contested catches, recording three catches for 73 yards in the preseason opener. The Eagles have multiple receivers competing behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson.
Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson will undergo season-ending knee and ankle surgery, a league source confirmed. The injury occurred during Tuesday's practice. Wilson appeared to get rolled up on during a Saquon Barkley run play and went awkwardly to the ground. He was assisted off the field to the medical tent, heavily favoring his left leg, before eventually being carted inside.
Wilson, a 2024 sixth-round pick out of Florida State, seemed on track to make the 53-man roster as the fourth wide receiver. He has unique size for the position (6-foot-6, 228 pounds). The Eagles value his blocking as well as his ability to sky for 50-50 balls, as he did in the preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals when he finished with three catches for 73 yards.
Philadelphia has several receivers vying for spots behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson, including Ainais Smith and undrafted rookie Darius Cooper, who has impressed this summer. The Eagles also recently traded for John Metchie III, sending tight end Harrison Bryant and a fifth-round draft pick in 2026 to the Houston Texans for Metchie and a 2026 sixth-round pick.
