Wilson (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
The wide receiver was downgraded to questionable Saturday after coming down with an illness. Wilson has played on more than 50 percent of Philadelphia's offensive snaps just three times this season, and he is unlikely to play a large role Sunday with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson all healthy.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Logs limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
Wilson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Wilson has been listed as a limited participant for the first two practices of the week due to a hamstring injury which caused him to be sidelined this past Sunday against the Ravens. Wilson would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Panthers if he were able to log a full practice Friday. The rookie sixth-round wideout has caught one pass (on two targets) for five yards over his past three games.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Estimated as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Wilson (hamstring) was listed as an estimated practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.
Wilson appeared on the Eagles' injury report late last week due to a hamstring injury, which was severe enough for him to be sidelined for Philadelphia's 24-19 win over Baltimore this past Sunday. Wednesday's practice was a walkthrough, so Wilson will have to participate in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing against the Panthers on Sunday.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Won't play Week 13
Rotowire
Wilson (hamstring) was downgraded to out Saturday ahead of Sunday's battle against Baltimore.
Wilson first appeared on the injury report with a hamstring issue Friday, and he was ruled out for Sunday's contest one day later. The rookie wideout played a season-high 69 percent of Philadelphia's offensive snaps last Sunday against the Rams, though he didn't make any catches and drew just one target. Wilson's absence Sunday could lead to more offensive snaps for Ainias Smith and Britain Covey.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Pops up on report with hamstring
Rotowire
Wilson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Olivia Reiner of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Wilson was added to the injury report Friday, suggesting that he suffered the injury in practice during the week. Fellow Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is also listed as questionable, so Wilson could take on a larger role if he suits up and Smith doesn't against the generous Baltimore secondary.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: No targets in Week 11
Rotowire
Wilson was not targeted in Thursday's 26-18 win over the Commanders.
Wilson scored his first career touchdown in Week 10 but played only 18 offensive snaps that game and was targeted only once. His role wasn't much smaller in Week 11, dropping to 13 snaps and zero targets. He's now gone untargeted in half of the Eagles' 10 games this season, including in five of the last six.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Past concussion
Rotowire
Wilson cleared concussion protocol Friday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Wilson sustained a concussion during the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The rookie wide receiver out of Florida State has caught just one of his six targets for nine yards through Philadelphia's first four games. He's expected to play behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson in Week 6 when the Eagles host the Browns.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Progressing through protocols
Rotowire
Wilson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.
Wilson was removed during the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers in order to be evaluated for a concussion. The Eagles had a bye in Week 5, and he was able to practice without restrictions Wednesday, though he will have to progress through the league's five-step protocols in order to be cleared ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. The rookie sixth-round pick has one catch (on six targets) for nine yards through four regular-season games.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Collects first NFL catch
Rotowire
Wilson pulled in one of two targets for nine yards in Monday's win over the Saints.
Wilson played a season-high 21 offensive snaps, with A.J. Brown (hamstring) on the shelf for the second straight game, and while the 2024 sixth-round pick didn't have a major impact on the outcome of the game, he will have been happy to record his first career reception. It's possible his role expands in Week 4 if both Brown and DeVonta Smith (concussion) miss out, but he may still be behind Jahan Dotson and Parris Campbell.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Active Monday
Rotowire
Wilson (hamstring) is active for Monday's matchup with the Falcons.
Wilson drew a questionable designation heading into Week 2, but he will ultimately play through it. The rookie saw 10 offensive snaps, as well as seven on special teams, in his NFL debut versus the Packers. He projects to see a similar workload against the Falcons.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Questionable for Week 2
Rotowire
Wilson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Falcons after not practicing Saturday, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Wilson popped up on the Eagles' injury report Saturday due to a hamstring issue, which puts his availability for Week 2 in jeopardy. The rookie sixth-round pick played 17 snaps (10 on offense, seven on special teams) and failed to haul in his lone target in the Eagles' Week 1 win over the Packers. Philadelphia could opt to elevate a wide receiver like Parris Campbell from the practice squad in case Wilson is unable to play Monday.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Zero catches in NFL debut
Rotowire
Wilson had zero catches on one target in Friday's season opener against the Packers.
Wilson, selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, appeared to have a shot at the Eagles' No. 3 receiver role before the team acquired Jahan Dotson in late August. Wilson saw the field for just 10 offensive snaps in Week 1, well behind Dotson's 32 and just barely ahead of fifth wideout Britain Covey's nine. Even if Wilson were to overtake Dotson on the depth chart, don't expect the Eagles to direct many targets to wide receivers not named A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Back on practice field Sunday
Rotowire
Wilson (concussion) is suited up for practice Sunday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Wilson went into NFL concussion protocol in mid-August and had been held out of practices and preseason games since. His return to practice Sunday bodes well for his chance of being able to play in Philadelphia's Week 1 game against the Packers in Brazil on Friday, though Wilson's status should gain more clarity with the release of the team's initial injury report Tuesday.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Still in concussion protocols
Rotowire
Wilson was absent from Eagles' practice Thursday as he remains in the league's concussion protocols, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Wilson has been in protocols since Aug. 13 after sustaining a concussion during the Eagles' joint practice with the Patriots. That kept him out of the two remaining preseason games and will keep him out of practice until he is able to pass the necessary benchmarks set by the league. It's unclear whether Wilson will be cleared ahead of the Eagles' regular-season opener against the Packers on Sept. 6. The rookie sixth-round pick is currently slated as Philadelphia's fourth wide receiver on the depth chart behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and new acquisition Jahan Dotson.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Wilson is in the concussion protocol and wasn't available for Thursday's preseason game at New England, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Wilson entered the protocol following Tuesday's joint practice with the Patriots. Now that he's dealing with a head injury, his status will be up in the air ahead of the Eagles' exhibition finale Saturday, Aug. 24 against the Vikings. In one preseason contest to date, Wilson, a rookie sixth-round pick, recorded a seven-yard catch on three targets last Friday at Baltimore.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Pushing for No. 3 WR role
Rotowire
Wilson has "pushed his way into the competition" for Philadelphia's No. 3 receiver role, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com.
Parris Campbell (groin) opened camp as the No. 3 receiver with the first-team offense, but the Eagles have also given Wilson, John Ross and Britain Covey some opportunities there. Campbell's groin injury could open up the competition even further, and McManus notes that coaches have hinted at using a rotation rather than locking in one player as the third WR. In any case, it's a role that doesn't figure to come with many targets unless A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith misses time with an injury. Wilson is an unusual prospect and one of the largest WRs in the league, coming in as a 2024 sixth-round pick after running a 4.53 40 at the Combine at 6-foot-6, 231 pounds.
