Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles are set for another road game, this time against the Baltimore Ravens. It will mark their fifth away game since October 13, when they began their current seven-game winning streak. However, the Eagles will be without a young wide receiver who had been gradually making his mark.
According to NBC Sports, rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson will be unavailable for the Week 13 matchup against the Ravens. Wilson had been a potential target for Hurts on the depth chart, especially with DeVonta Smith also sidelined due to injury.
In his first season with Philadelphia, Wilson recorded just one touchdown in the 2024 NFL season, which came during the Week 10 game against the Dallas Cowboys on the road. So far, he has totaled only two receptions for 14 yards in his rookie year.
The Eaglesā main option now is Jahan Dotson, the third receiver on the depth chart. Dotson has yet to score a touchdown this season but has recorded 10 receptions for 110 yards. He joined the Eagles in 2024 but debuted in the league with the Commanders in 2022, where he logged 11 touchdowns, 84 receptions, and 1,041 yards over two seasons.
