Wilson (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.
The 6-foot-7 rookie wide receiver played through his hamstring issue in Week 2's loss to the Falcons, but following Wednesday's estimated DNP, he could be in jeopardy of missing time. Wilson has had an underwhelming start to his NFL career, failing to haul in either of his targets while playing 28 offensive snaps across two games. If he's unable to suit up Sunday, expect Britain Covey and Jahan Dotson to see even more work with Philadelphia's first-team offense.

Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Held catchless in Week 2
Rotowire
Wilson failed to secure his lone target in Monday's 22-21 loss to the Falcons.
Wilson was targeted just once in each of the first two games, but has failed to reel in either target. The rookie wideout played 19 of the Eagles' 71 offensive snaps Monday, seeing increased playing time with fellow receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) sidelined for the contest. Wilson faces an uphill battle for playing time and targets in the Eagles' offense, keeping him off the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 3 matchup against the Saints.

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.
