The Philadelphia Eagles are now down two wide receivers with just a few weeks until the start of the 2024 season, with John Ross suffering a concussion against the Patriots in their preseason Week 2 game.
Ross had one catch for nine yards in New England, but in the third quarter, left the field to be evaluated for a concussion. This comes just two days after rookie WR Johnny Wilson suffered a concussion during the Eagles-Patriots joint practice.
There has yet to be a clear WR3 for the Eagles, and with Ross and Wilson both sidelined, it’s hard to imagine Howie Roseman doesn’t look to add some more depth at the position. DeVante Parker ended up retiring on the first day of OTAs, and Parris Campbell has been dealing with an injury, so what was a strong group in April, is now pretty depleted.
The Eagles final preseason game is on a Saturday, so Ross and Wilson do have a chance to be back on the field before the regular season, but that’s still a pretty quick turnaround.
