Overview

  • The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reported that Wilson will have surgery after Tuesday's practice injury, citing NFL sources.
  • Wilson's leg was rolled up on by offensive lineman Brett Toth at the NovaCare Complex, and he was carted off after initial evaluation.
  • The procedure is expected to end his 2025 season, with an injured reserve placement likely once roster moves are processed.
  • A 2024 sixth-round pick, the 24-year-old appeared in 16 games as a rookie and had shown preseason progress with three catches for 73 yards in the opener.
  • With A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jahan Dotson atop the depth chart, Metchie, Darius Cooper, and Ainias Smith are positioned to compete for roles as final cuts approach.
