Marquess Wilson: Let go by Philadelphia
The Eagles released Marquess Wilson on Tuesday.Wilson posted a promising 2015 campaign with the Bears, totaling 28 catches for 464 yards and a touchdown while still just 22 years old. He hasn't recaptured that season since, last touching the field on Sundays during the 2016 campaign. After signing a future deal with the Eagles in January, he hasn't done enough since to earn himself a spot when training camp opens Wednesday. Given the team's depth at the position, there's still a decent chance Wilson finds a home on another roster for training camp.

Eagles' Marquess Wilson: Inks future deal with Eagles
Marquess Wilson signed a reserve/future contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.Wilson didn't suit up for a game in the 2017 campaign, partially because he battled a hip injury late into preseason. Through his five seasons in the NFL, Wilson has 56 receptions on 99 targets for 764 yards and three touchdowns. The Eagles currently have a talented receiving corps, so Wilson will likely be a depth asset if he makes the 53-man roster in 2018.

Jets' Marquess Wilson: Doubtful to face Lions
Marquess Wilson (hip) did not practice Wednesday or Thursday after injuring his hip in practice Tuesday, and he is doubtful to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Lions, NJ.com reports.The New York Jets' wide receiver depth chart is very deep, though it's deep with players and not necessarily impact players, which could allow Wilson to move up quickly if he can overcome his hip issue and impress in the remaining preseason games.

Jets' Marquess Wilson: Doesn't practice Tuesday
Marquess Wilson didn't practice Tuesday due to a hip injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Wilson likely is fighting for one of the last receiver slots on the New York Jets' depth chart, and his absence from practice won't help his cause. It's unclear how long he'll be out, but the team has given no indication that it'll be an extended period. Myles White and Frankie Hammond figure to be the beneficiaries of some added reps with Wilson out.

Jets' Marquess Wilson: Signs with Jets
Marquess Wilson (foot) signed a contract with the New York Jets on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.Given the departure of Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, the Jets now have a massive void at wide receiver heading into training camp. As a result, it appears they'll be open to plenty of competition with a roster that currently holds 14 wideouts -- all of whom have four years or less experience in the league. Previously with the Bears, Wilson recorded 56 receptions and three touchdowns over four seasons, but he failed to make a lasting impact in the team's offensive game plan. The 6-foot-4 Wilson -- selected by Chicago in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft - suited up in just three games in 2016 and ended his campaign on IR with a broken foot. He'll now get a fresh start with a team that definitely has some job openings at his position.

Bears' Marquess Wilson: Set to hit unrestricted free agency
Marquess Wilson (foot) is set to become an unrestricted free agent, ChicagoChicago Bears.com reports.A 2013 seventh-round selection, Wilson had multiple chances to serve as either the Bears' second or third receiver, but he never proved worthy of a key role, catching only 56 passes for 777 yards and three touchdowns in 31 games. Coming off an injury-marred season, he'll presumably have to settle for a modest contract, be it with the Bears or another franchise. With Alshon Jeffery also set to hit free agency and Eddie Royal (toe) shaping up as a likely cap casualty, the Chicago receiving corps may be left in the hands of Cameron Meredith and Kevin White (fibula).

Bears' Marquess Wilson: Another injury-marred campaign
Marquess Wilson caught 16 passes for 160 yards and one touchdown in three 2016 games before suffering a broken foot and landing on injured reserve on December 17.Wilson had caught eight passes for 125 yards and a touchdown against the Titans on November 27, and unfortunately, he was injured in the next game. He also showed signs of promise when posting three games with at least 80 yards over the last eight games of 2015, and he's now set to become a free agent this off-season. He clearly has plenty of talent, but after playing in just 31 of 64 possible games in his career, he'll need to shake the injury bug to become a consistent fantasy option.

Bears' Marquess Wilson: Out indefinitely
Marquess Wilson has broken his left foot and will be out indefinitely, according to coach John Fox.Wilson's latest setback marks the third time he's broken the same foot since last December. While that'll obviously frustrate him after recently returning from his second break, it also raises questions regarding Wilson's long-term outlook. In the immediate future, it wouldn't be surprising if Wilson is placed on IR over the weekend to open a roster spot for fellow wideout Alshon Jeffery to return from suspension and face the Packers on Sunday.
