Johnny Wilson reverts to Eagles’ injured reserve list
JW to IR.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson has once again been placed on the team’s injured reserve list, the NFL confirmed on January 19, 2025. Wilson’s situation was expected as the team waived him with an injury designation following his knee injury in training camp. The 25-year-old had only returned to practice before being placed back on the IR list.
Wilson’s absence will keep him out of action for the entirety of the 2026 season. Having missed all of last year due to injury, it remains uncertain whether the Eagles will release him with an injury settlement or retain his 2024 sixth-round draft pick. Despite initial difficulties adapting to camp in 2025, Wilson managed to demonstrate promise before once again falling victim to injury.
Standing at 6’6” and weighing 231 pounds, Wilson’s considerable frame could have provided value as a jump ball option and blocker had he remained healthy. Unfortunately, his health issues appear to have overshadowed his potential contributions to the team.
