PHILADELPHIA — Eagles<\/a> wide receiver Johnny Wilson<\/a> will undergo season-ending knee and ankle surgery, a league source confirmed.<\/p>\n

The injury occurred during Tuesday’s practice. Wilson appeared to get rolled up on during a Saquon Barkley<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> when he finished with three catches for 73 yards.<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia Inquirer was first with the news.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia has several receivers vying for spots behind A.J. Brown<\/a>, DeVonta Smith<\/a> and Jahan Dotson<\/a>, including Ainias Smith and undrafted rookie Darius Cooper<\/a>, who has impressed this summer. The Eagles also recently traded for John Metchie III<\/a>, sending tight end Harrison Bryant<\/a> and a fifth-round draft pick in 2026 to the Houston Texans<\/a> for Metchie and a 2026 sixth-round pick.<\/p>\n

Wilson started four games last season and finished with five catches for 38 yards and a touchdown.br\/]<\/p>\n
