Once again in 2025 — the Eagles had high hopes for the physical play of wide receiver Johnny Wilson. Wilson — who was drafted in 2024 from the Florida State — injured himself in practice this week and will be shortly undergoing surgery that will keep him out for the 2025–2026 season.
When we last saw the Eagles offensive line during the NFL regular season — they weren’t in a meeting. They were meeting at the quarterback. Patrick Mahomes spent the evening of Super Bowl LIX on the turf of the Caesars Superdome. Now they have added yet another weapon (to their arsenal.)
Former Bears DT Jereme Robinson is now a Philadelphia Eagle. Robinson played four seasons at Kansas where he had fourteen sacks, five forced fumbles, ninety-eight tackles (29 of them for a loss.) Robinson had been with both the New England Patriots as well as the Bears as a UDFA after the 2025 NFL Draft — Jereme Robinson had been with Chicago for less than a month prior to the trade and had a hurry against Jets quarterback Adrian Martinez.
But the Eagles roster moves weren’t done there before the weekend was over — in more ways than one. Six months after Carson Wentz watched the team that drafted him in 2016 obliterate his then team (Kansas City) Minnesota signed the journeyman quarterback. Subsequently — they then sent quarterback Sam Howell to Philadelphia (along with a 6th round pick in 2026 in exchange for a 2026 5th round pick and a 2027 seventh round pick.)
The move comes after Eagles Quarterback Tanner McKee broke his finger in practice. After a successful college career in which he passed for over 10,000 yards — (Howell) was selected with the 144th selection in the 2022 NFL Draft by Washington. Two years ago (2024) — he was traded in return for a third and fifth round selection. Last Spring— Minnesota traded a fifth round selection for Howell and another fifth round selection in order to bring the quarterback to the Vikings.
