Eagles waive WR Johnny Wilson with an injury designation
The Eagles waived wide receiver Johnny Wilson with an injury designation, the team announced.
The Philadelphia Eagles recently waived wide receiver Johnny Wilson with an injury designation, according to the team. The decision came after Wilson missed several practices due to a knee injury. Wilson was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. During his rookie season, he appeared in 16 games, starting four of them. He managed to catch five passes for a total of 38 yards and scored one touchdown. Wilson had been on injured reserve throughout the entire previous season.
In addition to waiving Wilson, the Eagles also signed center Zeke Correll and wide receiver Brandon Hayes. Meanwhile, Tariq Castro-Fields was placed on injured reserve. Correll, who was undrafted in 2025, played his rookie season on injured reserve before being waived by the Vikings on March 13. Hayes, on the other hand, has had a fluctuating relationship with the Eagles since joining as an undrafted free agent.
During his time with the team, he excelled as a kickoff returner, ranking third in the Football Championship Subdivision with an impressive average of 30.7 yards per return. In 2024, Hayes contributed with two touchdowns on kickoffs and added 227 yards and another touchdown through his receptions.
