- Wilson (knee) reverted to Philadelphia's injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Wilson was let go by Philadelphia on Friday but is set to return to the team after clearing waivers, albeit on injured reserve. The 25-year-old will now be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's waived with an injury settlement.
RotoWire via ESPN - The Eagles waived/injured Wilson (knee) on Friday.
Wilson suffered a new knee injury in early August, and it appears to be too significant for the wide receiver to work through in a time frame that is reasonable for the Eagles. The 2024 sixth-rounder will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will revert to the team's injured reserve list. Wilson will then spend the entirety of the 2026 season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The Eagles re-signed Brandon Hayes in a corresponding move.
RotoWire via ESPN - Wilson (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Wilson was absent from Monday's practice session due to a knee issue, making consecutive sessions missed due to injury for the wide receiver. The 25-year-old is competing with Elijah Moore and Hollywood Brown for a chance at the No. 4 wide receiver spot in the Eagles' offense. Any missed time for Wilson likely further sinks his chances of being a starting contributor to the team at the commencement of the regular season.
RotoWire via ESPN - Wilson (knee) did not participate in Monday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Wilson suffered a season-ending knee injury in August 2025, but he was back on the field for the Eagles' OTAs in late May. The reoccurrence of a knee injury does not bode well, but the severity of the issue still remains unclear. Wilson was receiving some first-team wide-receiver reps before his injury, meaning his absence affords Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore additional opportunity to usurp him in the Eagles' air attack.
