The newly added Wilson will presumably take part in those practices before the team has a long layoff before training camp begins in late July.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Hayes, the second-most notable receiver with a last name five letters long to depart the Eagles this week, will be free to sign with any team if he goes unclaimed off waivers. It\u2019s always possible he could return to Philly down the road.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In the meantime, the Eagles have the following receivers under contract:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">DeVonta Smith<br \/>Makai Lemon (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/news\/176303\/makai-lemon-injury-eagles-wide-receiver-reportedly-dealing-with-soft-tissue-issue\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">injured<\/a>)<br \/>Dontayvion Wicks<br \/>Hollywood Brown<br \/>Darius Cooper<br \/>Johnny Wilson<br \/>Britain Covey<br \/>Elijah Moore<br \/>Danny Gray<br \/>Quez Watkins<br \/>Samori Toure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles waived undrafted rookie wide receiver Brandon Hayes to make room on the roster for the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":688177,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,46147,99],"class_list":["post-688176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=688176"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688176\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/688177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
