The Philadelphia Eagles will be without wide receiver Johnny Wilson for the entire 2025 NFL campaign after tests revealed knee and ankle damage that will require surgery, according to multiple reports citing team sources. Wilson, a 2024 draft pick who was expected to join the Eagles’ receiver rotation this year, faces an extensive rehabilitation timetable that rules him out for the season. In a separate setback, the New England Patriots have lost second-round pick Ja'Lynn Polk for the 2025 season. Polk is scheduled for shoulder surgery after suffering an injury that similarly sidelines him for the year, outlets including Yahoo Sports reported. The twin blows remove two young pass-catchers from their clubs’ depth charts before preseason preparations intensify.
