The Philadelphia Eagles have lost one of their wide receivers for 2025, with Johnny Wilson set to undergo season-ending surgery on his knee and ankle.
The Super Bowl champions have felt their share of the injury bug this offseason, previously losing superstar guard Landon Dickerson to a long-term injury, and they’re hoping there will be no more following the newest development.
According to the Inquirer’s Jeff McLane, Wilson will have operations on the aforementioned joints after getting hurt during training on Tuesday. He’s said to have hobbled off the field with the help of a trainer after getting rolled up on and was later carted inside.

The injury comes at a bad time for Wilson, who had been impressive this summer after struggling early in camp. The sophomore wideout had a good game in the Eagles’ first preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals and was expected to be part of the rotation in the coming season.
His absence will leave the defending champs with six wide receivers, all considered shoo-ins for the final 53-man roster, including A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jahan Dotson, the top three options. They also have undrafted rookie Darius Cooper, Ainias Smith, and John Metchie III, recently acquired via trade.
Metchie’s arrival ahead of Wilson’s injury now looks like a genius move on Howie Roseman’s part, while it’s been suggested that the widely-praised GM isn’t quite done yet. The team is already deep at WR, but Metchie will now be able to fill in as WR4, where Wilson would have been getting his snaps.
Cooper, who caught six passes for 82 yards in that preseason win over the Bengals, is also likely to see time on the field in 2025 after emerging as a talent to watch out for this offseason.
Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.
The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.
The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”
However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.
It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.
Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.
The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.
Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.
This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
