The Minnesota Vikings have acquired wide receiver Jalen Reagor from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for two draft picks, the teams announced Wednesday. The Vikings will send the Eagles a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2024. The 5-foot-11 Reagor must pass a physical to complete the transaction. The Vikings also waived wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette in a corresponding move.

Reagor joined the Eagles as the No. 21 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.  He totaled 299 yards and two touchdowns on 33 catches in 17 games last season. The Vikings will start Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen at wide receiver. K.J. Osborn and Jalen Nailor are among the backup wide receivers of the Vikings roster.

The Vikings will host the Green Bay Packers in their season opener Sept. 11 in Minneapolis, and will face the Eagles on Sept. 19 in Philadelphia.  The Eagles will face the Detroit Lions in their season opener Sept. 11 in Detroit.
