Kerr expects the Eagles and Johnny Wilson to part ways rather than reunite this season, and predicts Philadelphia keeps five wide receivers on the 53-man roster, with the final spots decided among Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore and Darius Cooper.
“The Eagles are likely to keep five receivers based on roster construction, which makes this battle even more intriguing.”
