The second-year wide receiver shined in the Eagles\u2019 first preseason game by using his 6\u20196\u201d frame to make jump ball catches. Wilson figured to contribute as a blocker, special teams player, and occasional red zone target in 2025. Instead, he\u2019ll end up being placed on injured reserve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Wilson\u2019s injury leaves the Eagles with six wide receivers who are projected to make the 53-man roster. A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jahan Dotson are cemented as the top trio. After them, it\u2019s undrafted rookie sensation Darius Cooper, Ainias Smith, and the recently acquired John Metchie III.
