Johnny Wilson reverted to the Philadelphia Eagles' injured reserve list after going unclaimed on waivers following a knee injury suffered in training camp. The 25-year-old wide receiver returned for just one practice before returning to the injury report. While on injured reserve, Wilson is ineligible to play during the 2026 season, marking the second consecutive year he has missed significant time due to injury. The Eagles must decide whether to waive Wilson from IR with an injury settlement or retain their 2024 sixth-round pick.NegativeInjuryAug 21, 2026
WR Johnny Wilson was waived/injured due to a lingering knee injury. Wilson being waived removes the biggest WR on the team; the former Eagles draft pick missed the 2025 season due to injuries and was trending in that direction for 2026. He will revert to injured reserve if/when he goes unclaimed through waivers.NegativeDepth ChartAug 19, 2026
Wilson has a unique skill set with his physicality and blocking ability, but the source notes 'there just isn't room for those guys' given the logjam at wide receiver. He is unlikely to make the final roster despite his special teams and blocking contributions.NegativeInjuryAug 17, 2026

The source might add Johnny Wilson to the list of receivers ahead of Marquise Brown on camp performance. The source would put Darius Cooper over Johnny Wilson as the "dirty work" receiver, though notes there may be room for both on the roster. Wilson caught a deep post to the corner of the endzone for a receiving touchdown from Tanner McKee during a Friday practice.PositiveUsageAug 7, 2026
Wilson made a contested grab on a touchdown ball from McKee in the back right corner of the end zone, capping off McKee's strong showing; Wilson also connected with Dalton on a deep pass that would've set the offense up a little short of the goal line.NegativeRoleAug 6, 2026
Wilson has had some nice moments (Dalton loves throwing to him) but not to the extent where he should be considered a lock to make the roster. Even with Smith and Lemon missing time, he hasn't seen a lot of first-team action. Cooper, Moore, Brown, and Covey have notably seen more reps with the starters.PositiveRoleAug 5, 2026
Wilson caught a crossing pass from Dalton in stride for a chunk gain in 11-on-11 drills; Dalton really likes throwing to him, indicating Wilson is a favored target for the backup quarterback.NegativeRoleAug 3, 2026
Wilson made a couple catches over the middle on passes from Andy Dalton during the backup quarterback battle but failed to secure a Tanner McKee pass that was a little low but still catchable.NegativeRoleAug 1, 2026
Wilson had a catch knocked out of his hands by Jakorian Bennett on a play that should have been made. He is receiving fewer first-team reps than Darius Cooper despite both being grouped together competing for a 'dirty work' role in the offense.PositiveUsageJul 29, 2026
Wilson made a leaping catch on a completion from Andy Dalton during the backup quarterback reps, showing continued involvement in the offense.NegativeRoleJul 29, 2026
Wilson currently seems to have the inside track on being the 'dirty work' wide receiver role, positioning him ahead of Darius Cooper for that specific role.PositiveRoleJul 28, 2026
Wilson, who was lost for the season with an injury in 2025, is back healthy heading into 2026 training camp and had a good spring. He remains part of the Eagles' receiver rotation alongside first-round pick Makai Lemon, trade acquisition Dontayvion Wicks, and free agent Hollywood Brown.
