Overview

  • Wilson was injured at Tuesday’s practice when his leg was rolled up on during a play and he was later carted off the field.
  • Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported the need for season-ending surgery, which multiple outlets confirmed.
  • The Eagles filled the open spot on the 90-man roster by signing defensive end Jereme Robinson after placing Wilson on injured reserve.
  • Wilson, a 2024 sixth-round pick, played 16 games as a rookie with five catches for 38 yards and a touchdown and was valued for his size and blocking.
  • With Wilson out, opportunities grow for John Metchie III following this week’s trade as well as for Darius Cooper and Ainias Smith to claim depth roles.
