The organization has also announced that rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson, one of Smith’s possible replacements, will not play in tomorrow’s game due to a hamstring issue. The Eagles would require rookie Ainias Smith and third-year player Brittin Covey to assume larger responsibilities in Smith’s possible absence, while Jahan Dotson would once again be the team’s number two wide receiver.
