Eagles waive Johnny Wilson due to another injury setback
Summary

Johnny Wilson’s attempt to secure a spot on the Eagles roster ended when Philadelphia waived him with an injury designation on August 21, 2026. Wilson faced a challenging training camp after missing the entire 2025 season due to knee and ankle injuries. His latest knee issue prevented him from participating in practices, making it difficult to compete for a reserve role. Originally selected in the sixth round of the 2024 draft, Wilson had shown promise in his rookie season but now faces the possibility of going through waivers. If unclaimed, he may return to injured reserve unless an injury settlement is reached.
