Philadelphia Eagles Transactions

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) threw in practice on Friday. Hurts returned from a multi-week absence due to a sprained right shoulder in the Week 18 regular season finale and helped the team to a win over the New York Giants to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs and a first-round bye. He went 20-for-35 for 229 yards, no touchdowns and an interception while also carrying the ball nine times for 13 yards. The Eagles didn't ask the 24-year-old to do too much, but hopefully he's closer to 100 percent when the team takes the field again in the Divisional Round next weekend. Hurts was the most valuable fantasy QB when he was healthy during the regular season, but he'll be a bit more risky in playoff leagues while still recovering from his shoulder injury.
Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl right tackle Lane Johnson (abdomen) was spotted at the team's practice on Friday. He hasn't played since Week 16 when tests showed a torn tendon in his abdominal area, but he appears to be on track to return for the Divisional Round of the postseason next weekend. The 32-year-old decided to put off surgery so that he has a chance of returning in the playoffs, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be. But getting the four-time Pro Bowler back for a potential deep postseason run will be big for Philadelphia's offensive line. Jack Driscoll and Andre Dillard have stepped into bigger roles on the O-line with Johnson sidelined.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is active for Week 18 against the New York Giants. Hurts missed the last two weeks but returns for a critical contest in which the Eagles need a win to secure the NFC's No. 1 seed. It sounds like the third-year quarterback is near 100 percent this week. As a result, he instantly becomes a high-end QB1 in fantasy football. Fantasy managers should be aware that the Eagles could pull Hurts and other starters if they jump out to a big lead, but even then, Hurts remains a must-start.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) will suit up for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. He has been limited in practice all week and was listed as questionable coming into this game. Despite that, Hurts will be out there for the first time since suffering a sprained right shoulder in Week 15. The Eagles need to win this game to secure a first-round bye week, so Hurts will need to shake off the rust quickly. The MVP-candidate should be a strong fantasy option against the Giants backups as they plan to rest a majority of their starters.
Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) and defensive end Robert Quinn (knee) has been officially activated from the injured reserve. Both defenders are expected to suit up for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. This is great news for the Eagles who have been without Gardner-Johnson since early December. Both players should certainly boost this defensive unit heading into the postseason. The Eagles defense is looking like a fantastic play against the Giants who are resting a majority of their starters.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is "trending in the right direction" towards starting versus the New York Giants. He was a limited participant in practice this week and is on track to start Sunday's game against the Giants. The 24-year-old has missed the last two games due to a right shoulder sprain. He has been terrific this season, throwing for 3,472 yards, 22 touchdowns, and five interceptions while rushing for 747 yards and 13 scores over 14 games in 2022. Hurts remains an elite option for the regular season finale against a Giants team that will most likely rest some of their key defensive starters.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants on Sunday. Hurts was limited in practice this week and appears to be on the right track to playing for the first time since spraining his right shoulder in Week 15. If the 24-year-old doesn't get the green light, backup Gardner Minshew would make his third straight start. However, in a game the Eagles need to win in order to secure the top overall seed in the NFL playoff picture and a first-round bye, we suspect that Hurts will be out there. If he's on the field, the MVP candidate is a must-start in single-season championship matchups, although he could be shaking off some rust and is unlikely to see many designed runs.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and was removed from the final Week 18 injury report. He will suit up in Sunday's regular season finale against the New York Giants. In a game the Eagles need to win in order to secure a first-round bye in the NFC postseason as the top overall seed, Sanders and the rest of the starters will be on display and available to fantasy managers still fighting for a fantasy title this week. The 25-year-old could also be getting starting quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) back from a two-game absence, which would make Philly's offense more explosive. With a lot of players being too risky to rely on in Week 18, Sanders is an exception and should see a reliable amount of touches against New York.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) and running back Miles Sanders (knee) were both limited in Wednesday's walkthrough practice. After missing the last two games due to a right shoulder sprain, Hurts is trending towards returning in Week 18 against the New York Giants. The Eagles must win in order to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs. The 24-year-old has been the most valuable fantasy QB this year, but he could be rusty and/or face restrictions if he's active this weekend. Continue to keep a close eye on his practice status this week. Sanders played a season-low 40 percent of the offensive snaps last Sunday, but he should continue to serve as Philly's lead back against the Giants and will be in play as a strong RB2 choice in Week 18.
The Philadelphia Eagles designated safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) and defensive end Robert Quinn (knee) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Both defenders are now eligible to practice and could return to play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the New York Giants if they are officially activated from Injured Reserve by then. Gardner-Johnson has played a key role in Philly's secondary but has been on IR since Dec. 3 after suffering a lacerated kidney in Week 12. Quinn went on IR in Week 13 and will also be a key addition to an already strong Eagles defense as they get ready for the postseason. Even if Gardner-Johnson and Quinn don't return this weekend, the Eagles defense will be an intriguing play against a Giants team that is expected to be resting their starters.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second day in a row. Despite Hurts being limited, it sounds like he'll likely be on the field for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. He is taking first-time reps and is trending towards suiting up for this game. Although, fantasy managers should check back on Friday for another update on his status. The 24-year-old could be a bit rusty after not playing for a few weeks. Despite that, Hurts will remain a strong fantasy option against a Giants team that will likely be resting most of their key starters.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. He played through a knee issue last week and finished with 61 yards on 12 rushing attempts. Sanders has been limited in practice the last two days, but should be fine for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday for another update on his status. Sanders should be considered a high-end RB2 against a Giants team that is likely to rest many of their starters.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is not going to suit up for the Week 17 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. However, the MVP-candidate could get back on the field for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. Although, Philly would secure the No. 1 seed with a win over New Orleans. In that event, it's unlikely that the Eagles would deploy Hurts for the regular season finale. It sounds like Hurts is doing well though, so he'll most likely be available if needed for Week 18. This is good news for fantasy managers who are playing for something in Week 18. Although, we'll have to wait and see what happens during their matchup with the Saints this weekend.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Josh Sweat (neck) exited Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints with a serious injury. He was carted off the field and taken to a local hospital as a precaution. Fortunately, Sweat has movement in all extremities, according to an announcement from the team.

If the Philadelphia Eagles win in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints and clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) could play in Week 18 against the New York Giants to make sure he's not idle for more than a month heading into their first playoff game. Hurts is doubtful to play this Sunday, but sources said he made significant strides in practice and the team is confident he'll return in the short term. Fantasy managers playing for a title this week won't have the 24-year-old MVP candidate, but if you're still playing for something in Week 18, you may get lucky and get him back. However, there's also a very real possibility that Hurts doesn't even play a full game if he's active in the regular season finale. That's why most fantasy leagues usually end in the second-to-last week of the regular season.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni doesn't appear to be in a rush to name his starting quarterback for Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints after Jalen Hurts (shoulder) had a good practice on Thursday. Sirianni said: "We're still sorting through that" and "Jalen's health is the first thing you think of." The 24-year-old didn't play in Week 16 and was a DNP on Wednesday, but he returned to a limited practice on Thursday and did some throwing. The Eagles have yet to lock down the NFC East division, but our guess is Hurts will be rested one more week before potentially returning in Week 18 if Philly has yet to secure the NFC East and a first-round bye in the postseason. We'll have a better idea if it will be Hurts or backup Gardner Minshew after the Eagles release their final injury report on Friday.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, but he'll head into the Week 17 game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints with a doubtful tag. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to fantasy managers after Hurts sprained his right shoulder in Week 15. This will be his second straight game on the sidelines. However, there's a chance he could play in Week 18 in the regular season finale if the Eagles have yet to clinch the NFC East division and a first-round bye in the playoffs. Backup Gardner Minshew is in line to make his second straight start in place of Hurts, and he'll be on the QB1/2 borderline after throwing for 355 yards and accounting for three TDs in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) put in a full practice on Friday and will enter Sunday's Week 17 meeting with the New Orleans Saints without an injury designation. Sanders was rested on Wednesday and was limited in practice on Thursday. Philly will be without MVP candidate Jalen Hurts (shoulder) for a second straight game, giving Sanders more fantasy upside. Last week in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the 25-year-old had 21 carries for 65 yards, only the third time in 2022 that he's seen 20-plus totes. The Saints defense has been around middle of the pack in terms of average fantasy points allowed to opposing RBs, but Sanders' guaranteed volume this weekend should make him a strong RB2 play.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) was seen doing some throwing at the start of Thursday's practice. It's more than Hurts did last week, but there's still a chance he'll be listed as a non-participant on Thursday's final injury report after he was a DNP on Wednesday. The 24-year-old is dealing with a sprained right shoulder and missed the Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Although the Eagles have yet to lock up a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the NFC postseason, they could very well err on the side of caution and hold Hurts out for a second straight game this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Check back later for Hurts' official practice status. If he doesn't get cleared this weekend, Gardner Minshew will have plenty of QB2 upside in what would be his second start of the year.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) is back at practice on Thursday after he was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice. The Eagles were likely giving Sanders a day to rest on Wednesday. It's unclear if he was limited or full on Thursday, but the fact that he was back on the field is a good sign that he'll be fine for his normal role as Philly's backfield leader in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints. With quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) sidelined, the Eagles made it a point to keep Sanders heavily involved in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, as he had 21 carries for 65 yards on the ground. Expect more of the same this weekend if Hurts misses a second straight game. Sanders should be considered a strong RB2 choice for fantasy managers.

After consulting with numerous experts, including Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl right tackle Lane Johnson (groin) will put off surgery on his torn adductor muscle and will rehab for two or three weeks and will attempt to play in the postseason, according to sources. The recovery time for surgery is 10 to 12 weeks, so Johnson's 2023 season won't be affected by when the surgery occurs, even if it comes in mid-February. The 32-year-old will miss the final two regular season games but will return for the playoffs after suffering a tear in his abdominal area in the Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Jack Driscoll, Andre Dillard and Jordan Mailata are all options to play right tackle in Johnson's absence the next couple of weeks.
ESPN.com's Dan Graziano doesn't think the Philadelphia Eagles gave any real consideration to let quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys, and Graziano would be surprised if Hurts plays in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints. The real decision could end up being whether to let him play in Week 18 against the New York Giants so that he hasn't had five weeks off before the Divisional round of the playoffs (assuming they secure a first-round bye in the NFC). The Eagles seem to believe they'll get Hurts back before their first playoff game, but they still aren't sure about the extent to which the injury will affect him once he returns. Fantasy managers hoping to have the MVP front-runner available this weekend shouldn't get their hopes up. It will probably be Gardner Minshew Mania for at least another week.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) missed the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Hurts sprained his right shoulder in Week 15 and was held out of the Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles still have not locked up the No. 1 seed in the NFC, but Hurts could easily miss his second straight game this weekend against the New Orleans Saints if the team doesn't think he's ready. As of now, fantasy managers shouldn't expect the 24-year-old MVP front-runner to play this Sunday. Backup Gardner Minshew stepped in seamlessly for the Eagles under center last Saturday and contributed over 300 yards passing and three total touchdowns. He'll be firmly in play as a QB2 in superflex leagues yet again if he makes another start.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) was a DNP at Wednesday's practice. Sanders played just over 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, carrying the ball 21 times for 65 yards while also snagging his only target for a six-yard gain through the air. It was nice to see him go over 20 carries for the first time since Week 12 after he had just 11 in Week 15. There hasn't been any indication that the 25-year-old's injury is that serious, so as long as he practices in the next couple of days, he should be able to suit up to face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Sanders has been much more productive this year than last and currently ranks as the RB11 in half-point PPR scoring.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee issue that he picked up in the Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the knee injury last week, Brown played 92 percent of the offensive snaps and finished with six catches on eight targets for 103 yards in backup quarterback Gardner Minshew's first start. Minshew seemed to prefer wideout DeVonta Smith as his top target, but Brown still managed eight targets and has now gone over 100 yards receiving in three of the last four games. The 25-year-old is also one TD shy of his career-high of 11 set back in 2020 with the Tennessee Titans. Barring a setback, Brown should play in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, where he'll be a must-start WR1 in fantasy.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is considered day-to-day. Hurts wasn't expected to be on the field until the postseason to give him time to recover from a sprained SC joint. However, with Philly dropping a critical game to the Cowboys on Christmas Eve, the signal-caller will push to make it back for the Week 17 meeting with the New Orleans Saints. That said, fantasy managers should keep Gardner Minshew on the roster, at least for now. Although Minshew threw two interceptions in the loss to Dallas, he managed to put together a 355-yard, two-touchdown effort, so he has some fantasy value if Hurts can't go on New Year's Day.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is sidelined for Saturday's meeting against Dallas. However, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, there's concern that the signal-caller won't be available in Week 17 versus the New Orleans Saints either. ESPN's Stephania Bell also chimed in on Schefter's update, reporting that the team may take a "conservative" approach regarding Hurts' return due to the nature of his injury, meaning it's certainly possible he won't be back until the postseason. Fortunately, Philly has Gardner Minshew to handle things under center moving ahead. While Minshew isn't as talented as Hurts, he's someone to consider for those looking to fill a void at the position, especially with so many quarterbacks around the league dealing with injuries.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) will miss the Week 16 game against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Saturday after he sprained his right shoulder in the Week 15 win over the Chicago Bears. The Eagles announced on Thursday that backup Gardner Minshew will make his first start of the year. If this was the postseason, Hurts would likely battle through it and play. But it's not and the Eagles want the MVP candidate to be healthy entering the playoffs, so there's a chance he could also miss Week 17 if they feel he's not ready. It's terrible timing for those in the fantasy playoffs, but you'll have to pivot and look elsewhere at the QB position. Minshew fared well in his two starts for Philly in 2021 and has plenty of weapons to turn in a decent QB2 performance in superflex leagues in Week 16.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) wasn't at practice on Wednesday. The superstar quarterback suffered a sprained throwing shoulder last week in the win over the Chicago Bears. Despite the injury, Hurts had 315 passing yards in the win, his fourth game this year with over 300 yards passing. However, the superstar quarterback hasn't been ruled out for this week's NFC East showdown against the Dallas Cowboys. While Hurts has a chance to play, it's unlikely that he will suit up in Week 16. Replacing him will be former Jacksonville Jaguars starter, Gardner Minshew. Fantasy players who need a replacement can add Minshew off the waiver wire and start him against the Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has ruled linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (shoulder) out for the Week 16 meeting with the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday due to a stinger that he suffered in Sunday's overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Cowboys have already clinched a postseason berth, so they could play it safe with some of their injured players down the stretch. The good news for Vander Esch is his injury isn't related to a neck issue that almost forced him into early retirement several years ago. It's not considered a long-term injury, so the 26-year-old could be back on the field for Dallas' D before the playoffs even begin. With the Cowboys playing on a short week next Thursday night, though, there's a good chance LVE won't be available for that game, either.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) suffered an injury late in their victory over the Bears on Sunday. After the game, reports emerged that the 24-year-old could miss the next two or three weeks. While it seems unlikely he'll play on Saturday against the Cowboys, head coach Nick Sirianni was not prepared to rule him out. On Tuesday, he described their young superstar as "attacking his rehab," stating, "we'll see what happens this week," but did confirm it's "not something we deem long term." The Eagles only need to win one of their final three games to clinch the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye, so there is no reason for them to rush him back this week. Gardner Minshew will serve as the team's starter if Hurts is out, which would be a downgrade for the offense and their playmakers.
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) has been activated from Injured Reserve and to the 53-man roster on Tuesday, according to the team. Goedert will play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday for the first time since he injured his shoulder in Week 10. The 27-year-old was close to play in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears, but the Eagles played it safe and held him out one more game. Before his injury, he was a must-start TE1 in Philly's high-scoring offense. Goedert should once again be attractive as a starting option for fantasy managers at the thinnest position, but he could face snap limitations this weekend and could also be without quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder), which will make him a more volatile fantasy option.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) does have a chance to play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, so head coach Nick Sirianni said on Tuesday that he will get both Hurts and backup Gardner Minshew ready this week. "There's a chance he could play this week. He's one of the toughest guys I know. His body is not like yours or mine. He heals fast. I will not rule him out. I will not put a timetable on him. We'll see what happens," Sirianni said. The 24-year-old Hurts is dealing with a right shoulder sprain, so there's still a pretty good chance it will be Minshew under center in a big divisional clash this weekend. Fantasy managers need to prepare a backup plan at QB in case Hurts is inactive. We'll have a better idea of his status on Thursday.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Backup Gardner Minshew was also a DNP due to a personal issue. Hurts sprained his right shoulder in the Week 15 win over the Chicago Bears and is up in the air to face the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday in Week 16. The Eagles are saying he has a chance to play, but the MVP candidate is very iffy for fantasy managers this week and possibly in Week 17 as well. We'll have a better idea of his Week 16 status after two more practice days, but fantasy managers need to have an alternate plan at QB this week. If Hurts is unable to play against Dallas, Minshew would get the start and be in play in two-QB superflex leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and MVP candidate Jalen Hurts (shoulder) could miss the team's next two games due to a sprained right shoulder that he suffered in the Week 15 win over the Chicago Bears, according to NFL sources. It's also possible that he doesn't play in the final three regular season games and for another month until the divisional round of the postseason. Hurts was injured late in the third quarter on Sunday and is now highly unlikely to play in Week 16 against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. What a terrible time to lose the overall QB2 in fantasy this year with the semifinals and finals coming up the next two weeks in most fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers that have been riding Hurts' breakout season in 2022 will have to go in another direction moving forward. In Philly, Gardner Minshew will take over the offense for however long Hurts is out.
Saturday, December 17
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) was not activated ahead of Sunday's encounter against the Bears. As a result, he's out, although there's a good chance he'll return for the NFC East meeting with the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. The veteran had 43 catches for 544 yards and three touchdowns in nine games before succumbing to his current ailment. However, with the Eagles looking at a deep postseason push, the team will play it safe and give him some more time off the field. In the meantime, Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra will fill the void at the position. Yet, neither man should be considered for any fantasy starting lineup.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
While the Philadelphia Eagles haven't definitively said that tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) will play in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears after they designated him to return to practice this week, he's trending towards playing on Sunday. As long as the fracture in the glenoid bone of his shoulder is healed, he'll be able to play this weekend. The Eagles offense still thrived without Goedert for four games, but they'll be even more explosive when they get him back. Despite missing four full games, the 27-year-old is sixth in the league in receiving among tight ends with 544 yards in nine games. Goedert will be a bit risky if he returns to face the Bears, but before he was injured, he was a must-start TE1 in fantasy.
Wednesday, December 14
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
The Philadelphia Eagles designated tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window for the team to officially activate him from Injured Reserve. Goedert will return to practice, and the Eagles think that he'll be ready to play in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears this Sunday as long as he doesn't have any setbacks at practice this week. The 27-year-old hasn't played since Week 10, though, so the Eagles could decide to ease him back into the game plan if he's activated to play this Sunday. But when he's fully healthy, Goedert will be the team's unquestioned top pass-catching tight end. He has been a strong TE1 for fantasy managers in 2022 with 43 receptions for 544 yards and three touchdowns on 53 targets in nine games.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed veteran safety Anthony Harris to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to his agents. Harris didn't rack up any stats while playing only special teams for the Denver Broncos in three games this year before being waived last week. The 31-year-old was with the Eagles in 2021 and was also with them this preseason before joining Denver. In 14 starts for Philly last year, Harris recorded 72 tackles (36 solo), an interception and three passes defensed. Harris will provide the Eagles with additional secondary help with C.J. Gardner-Johnson (kidney) on Injured Reserve and Reed Blankenship (knee) getting injured in the Week 14 win over the New York Giants.
Monday, December 12
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles safety Reed Blankenship (knee) was diagnosed with a low-grade knee sprain following scans on Monday, according to sources. His ankle should be a short-term one, but his timeline is still to be determined. The good news is that Blankenship isn't a candidate to go on Injured Reserve, which would keep him out until the playoffs. The 23-year-old probably won't play in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears, but there's a chance he'll make it back before the end of the regular season. The Eagles secondary is pretty banged up late in the season, so they will certainly play things safe with Blankenship so that they'll have him in the postseason. With Blankenship hurt, K'Von Wallace is likely to make a start in Week 15.
Tuesday, December 06
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Robert Quinn (knee) is undergoing a knee scope this week and will go on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to sources. It's bad timing, as Quinn had been settling into the Eagles' defensive scheme before his knee got twisted in practice last week. He'll miss at least the next four games, but there's optimism he'll return for a playoff push. The 32-year-old joined Philadelphia at the end of October after starting the year with the Chicago Bears, and he had only two solo tackles and two QB hits in his first five games for the Eagles while playing no more than 27 percent of the defensive snaps. With Quinn out, Ndamukong Suh, Linval Joseph and Milton Williams should see more rotational snaps along the defensive line.
Sunday, December 04
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles pass-rusher Robert Quinn (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. The 32-year-old racked up 10 tackles and one sack over the first 12 games and will now miss his first contest of the year. Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph should provide reinforcements on the defensive line in his absence.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (shoulder) is officially questionable to return against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. He exited at the end of the third quarter, at which point he had five catches for 37 yards. The 24-year-old has emerged as a flashy playmaker and warrants FLEX consideration in deeper leagues going forward. In the short-term, Zach Pascal will serve as the Eagles' No. 3 receiver as Philly looks to close out the Titans.
Saturday, December 03
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (groin) was removed from the final Week 13 injury report on Friday and will be active on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Smith began the week with two limited practices but was a full participant on Friday and is good to go. The 24-year-old has seen at least eight targets in three straight games, and although he doesn't quite have the consistent high ceiling that teammate A.J. Brown has on a weekly basis, Smith isn't far behind in Philly's high-scoring offense. Smith has caught 56 of his 79 targets for 609 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games this year and will be a low-end WR2 with upside on Sunday against the Titans, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to receivers in half-point PPR scoring in 2022.
Thursday, December 01
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (groin) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Smith heading into his Week 13 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, but it doesn't sound like an injury that should put him in danger of missing this weekend's game. If he's out there this weekend, he should continue to see plenty of targets alongside A.J. Brown and will be in play as a WR2/3 for fantasy managers. On the season, Smith has been a top-30 fantasy wideout while catching 56 of his 79 targets for 609 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games. Smith has secured 10 of his 18 targets for 128 yards and no touchdowns in the two most recent games against the Colts and Packers.
Philadelphia Eagles rookie defensive tackle Jordan Davis (ankle) has returned to practice this week, and NBC Sports Philadelphia's Reuben Frank thinks it's pretty likely that he's activated from Injured Reserve to play in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The 22-year-old first-rounder has been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 8, but he's apparently made enough progress to be a realistic option to suit up this weekend. Davis will probably be eased back into the defensive line rotation, but it will be a big upgrade to an already strong Eagles D-line if he's able to return this weekend. He had 14 tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed in his first eight NFL games (five starts) before his ankle sprain.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (groin) was limited once again during practice on Thursday. The 24-year-old has been limited in back-to-back practices, which could possibly be for rest purposes. Fantasy managers should consider Smith on the optimistic side of questionable for the Week 13 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. This season, Smith has been a top-30 wideout, but the Titans have a good secondary. Fantasy managers should consider Smith a low-end WR2, assuming he plays. Otherwise A.J. Brown could see his usage skyrocket.

The Philadelphia Eagles opened the 21-day practice window for rookie first-round defensive tackle Jordan Davis (ankle) on Wednesday, and he could come off Injured Reserve to play as soon as Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday. Davis suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and hasn't played since, but he's now nearing a return and could suit up this weekend if he looks good in practice this week. The 22-year-old will return to a starting role in the trenches once he's ready, a boost to an already strong Eagles defensive line. Before his injury, Davis had 14 tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed in his first eight NFL games (five starts).
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) said the plan is for him to return after his four-game stint on injured reserve is over. The veteran tight end suffered a shoulder injury against Washington Commanders in Week 10. Philadelphia placed the star tight end on injured reserve, knocking him out for weeks. However, Goedert says the plan as of right now is to return when he is eligible. Therefore, he should be back for the Week 15 matchup against Chicago Bears. Fantasy players with either an open IR or a bench spot should continue to hold onto the veteran tight end. He was the TE5 before getting hurt, averaging 10.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.

Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (kidney) is out indefinitely after suffering a lacerated kidney in the Sunday night win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 12, according to sources. It's a non-surgical injury for Gardner-Johnson and testing is ongoing, so his timetable is still to be determined, but it's not expected to be a season-ending injury. The 24-year-old could land on Injured Reserve, however, which would keep him out for at least four games. With the Eagles pretty much a lock to make the postseason, the Eagles will probably hope he can return for a deep playoff run. It's a big loss for Philly's secondary, though, as Gardner-Johnson had racked up a career-high 60 tackles (55 solo), four tackles for loss, one sack, a league-high six interceptions and eight passes defensed in 11 starts.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown (ankle) and DeVonta Smith (knee) were both full participants in practice on Friday and have been cleared to play in Week 11 against the Indianapolis Colts. It didn't seem that either was in danger of missing Sunday's contest, but it is great to hear that both were able to get in a full practice. Despite a difficult matchup, Brown and Smith should remain in starting fantasy lineups as more targets should be available with Dallas Goedert (shoulder) on injured reserve.
Thursday, November 17
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (knee) was limited in Wednesday's walk-through practice. He is dealing with a knee issue, but it isn't expected to keep him out for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. The 24-year-old could see an uptick in targets with tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) placed on injured reserve. He has caught 46 passes for 481 yards and three touchdowns over nine games in 2022. Smith is a borderline WR2 and should remain in fantasy lineups against the Colts in Week 11.
The Philadelphia Eagles are signing free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to sources. The move beefs up Philly's defensive line with a top free agent. On back-to-back days, the Eagles defense has added Suh and Linval Joseph on the defensive side of the ball because of injuries to Fletcher Cox (foot), Jordan Davis (ankle) and Marlon Tuipulotu (undisclosed). The 35-year-old Suh is a five-time Pro Bowler and will add plenty of experience to an already strong Eagles defensive line. He spent the last three years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recording 14.5 sacks, 64 solo tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 46 QB hits, a forced fumble and five fumble recoveries (two returned for touchdowns).
Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown (ankle, rest) and DeVonta Smith (knee) were both limited in practice again on Thursday. Brown rolled his ankle in Monday's loss to the Washington Commanders. He remained in the game but finished with just one catch for seven yards. Smith had only 39 receiving yards on six catches (eight targets), but he did find the end zone for the third time this year. Both players should be fine to play in Week 11 against a tough Indianapolis Colts defense, but they should both be locked into all starting fantasy lineups as the Eagles look to bounce back after their first loss of the season. With tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) on Injured Reserve, both Brown and Smith should see more looks as well.
Wednesday, November 16
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) is heading to injured reserve after suffering a shoulder injury on Monday night against the Washington Commanders. The veteran tight end was having a career year, averaging 4.8 receptions for 60.4 receiving yards per game. He is also second on the team, with three receiving touchdowns this season. The Eagles will now lean on the combination of Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra, with Goedert out for at least the next four weeks. However, fantasy players shouldn't consider either backup tight end as a possible replacement for Goedert. Hopefully, the star tight end returns in Week 15, just in time for the start of the fantasy playoffs.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle), who rolled his ankle early in the Monday night loss to the Washington Commanders, said on Wednesday that he'll be fine. Brown had his ankle wrapped at practice on Wednesday (he was limited) but will be good to go in Week 11 against the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old didn't look quite right after tweaking his ankle on Monday, but he still played 81 percent of the offensive snaps while disappointing with just one catch for seven yards on four targets in the team's first loss of 2022. Brown's ankle is worth watching, but as long as he's active, he's a must-start in Philly's high-octane offense, especially with tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) on Injured Reserve.
Tuesday, November 15
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
The Philadelphia Eagles placed cornerback Avonte Maddox (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Monday and promoted cornerback Mario Goodrich from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Maddox will miss at least the next four games, including Monday's game against the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old started five of his six games played this year and had recorded 27 tackles (17 solo), an interception, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery. In his absence for at least the next four games, Josiah Scott should be the team's starting slot cornerback.
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) will miss extended time due to a shoulder injury that he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Washington Commanders, according to sources. It's not a season-ending injury, but fantasy managers will have to go in another direction if they've been using Goedert as their starter at the position. The 27-year-old scored a touchdown for the second straight game on Monday and had three catches for 23 yards in the team's first loss. It's a tough blow for the Eagles and fantasy managers alike, as Goedert is the TE3 in overall half-point PPR scoring this season. In his absence, Jack Stoll and rookie Grant Calcaterra will see more playing time, but they aren't realistic fantasy targets off the waiver wire. Expect receivers A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Quez Watkins, among others, to see more targets going forward.
Thursday, November 03
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis (ankle) was placed on injured reserve due to a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 8. The first-round rookie has been impressive this season as a member of a strong defensive line. While the Eagles have been stellar on defense, the loss of Davis will surely hamper their ability to stop the run. The former Georgia Bulldog will miss this Thursday's game against the Houston Texans, and his next opportunity to suit up will be in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. Philadelphia will hope to adequately limit their opponents' rushing attacks in his absence.
Sunday, October 30
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis (ankle) is believed to have sustained a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Steelers. The 2022 No. 13 overall pick suffered the injury during the first half, amassing one tackle before exiting. Although an MRI will confirm the diagnosis, Davis is expected to miss approximately four-to-six weeks. However, he only has 12 total tackles in 2022-23, so not many IDP managers outside of dynasty formats will be impacted.
Thursday, October 27
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
The Philadelphia Eagles acquired defensive end Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears on Wednesday in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2023, according to a source. Quinn had only one sack in seven games for the Bears this year, but the 32-year-old put up 18.5 sacks in 2021 and will bring plenty of pass-rushing experience to an already strong Eagles defense. Quinn will help replace Derek Barnett (knee), who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the season opener. The Bears are paying $7.1 million of Quinn's remaining base salary this year as part of the deal. Despite acquiring Quinn, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, A.J. Brown and Jordan Davis within the last year, the Eagles still have six picks in next year's draft, including two in the first round.
Monday, October 17
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson (concussion) was forced to make an early exit during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran tackle was taken to the locker room with what the team is calling a concussion. Jack Driscoll was asked to take over for the rest of the contest. Luckily for Philly, Johnson might not miss a game because the Eagles have a bye in Week 7. His absence would leave a big hole in the Eagles offensive line, so hopefully he'll be ready to go after the bye week.
Sunday, October 16
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (ankle) is active for Sunday's NFC East battle with the Cowboys. The 27-year-old suffered a right ankle injury during the Week 4 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and hasn't been seen since. Fortunately, he practiced on Friday, providing optimism heading into the contest. With that said, the Eagles' high-powered offensive attack has held Elliott to only five field goal attempts this season. As a result, fantasy managers may want to look for other options moving ahead, at least until Elliott begins to get more involved.
Friday, October 14
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata (shoulder) is on track to play in Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. He initially suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 4 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old returned to practice this week and is trending in the right direction toward suiting up against Dallas. Mailata's presence on the o-line will only help quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' offense. Jack Driscoll will draw the start at left tackle if Mailata is ruled out.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) was able to get in a full practice on Thursday. This is good news after Gainwell was limited during Wednesday's practice session. It appears the second-year back is dealing with a minor injury, but should still suit up for the Week 6 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Miles Sanders is the lead back in Philly, but Gainwell should serve as the backup and primary pass-catcher in the backfield.
Thursday, October 13
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The second-year back's status for this week appears to be in a good spot considering his ability to practice even in a limited capacity. The Eagles are taking on the Cowboys on Sunday night for a highly anticipated divisional battle, so they'd like to have their pass-catching specialist available out of the backfield. Gainwell's status on Thursday and Friday should provide a clearer picture on his availability for Sunday.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (ribs) is not listed on the team's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. He has been sidelined for the last two weeks due to injured ribs. The 27-year-old has 29 rushing yards on 10 attempts and one touchdown through the first two weeks. Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell, and Scott will be Philadelphia's lead backs heading into Sunday's contest against the Cowboys. Sanders is the only back worth starting for fantasy football in Week 6.
Sunday, October 09
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (rib) is active for Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old amassed 10 rushes, 29 yards, and one touchdown through the first two weeks before missing the last two contests. Even with Scott back, Miles Sanders is the only Eagles running back worth starting in fantasy football on Sunday.
Correcting a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (rib) is inactive for Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old amassed 10 rushes, 29 yards, and one touchdown through the first two weeks. Miles Sanders is the only Eagles running back worth starting in fantasy football on Sunday.
Friday, October 07
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (ankle) was officially ruled out for Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. Elliott wasn't able to practice this week after suffering a right ankle injury in the Week 4 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Eagles are expected to bring up Cameron Dicker from the practice squad to the active roster in order to serve as the team's kicker on Sunday with Elliott out. Elliott could be back as early as Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dicker will be making his NFL debut this weekend and should be avoided in fantasy.
Thursday, October 06
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (ankle) is expected to sit out the Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. This was the expectation after the Eagles signed Cameron Dicker to their 53-man roster. Dicker should be the active kicker on Sunday and isn't a terrible streaming option in this hot Philly offense. However, he is undrafted and doesn't have any NFL experience. Fantasy managers can stream Dicker at their own risk. Elliott should be able to return after this contest.
Tuesday, October 04
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (leg) has a chance of suiting up in Week 5, according to Eagles special teams coordinator Michael Clay. The team has praised Elliott's toughness and are optimistic that Elliott will be able to suit up against the Arizona Cardinals. However, the team has signed Cameron Dicker to the 53-man roster as insurance in case Elliott is unable to play. Fantasy managers who are rostered Elliott will have to check back later this week for another update on his status.
Monday, October 03
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (forearm) didn't suffer a major forearm injury in the Week 4 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and has a chance to play in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, cornerback Avonte Maddox (ankle), who suffered an ankle sprain last week, is up in the air for Week 5, according to sources. Maddox could miss another game, but his injury isn't long-term. It's good news for the Eagles secondary as they try to remain the only undefeated team in the league heading into a matchup against Arizona. If Slay is able to play, it will be bad news for Cardinals No. 1 receiver Marquise Brown. The Eagles defense/special teams has been a must-start fantasy unit this season.
Sunday, October 02
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (rib) is inactive for Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, as expected. The 27-year-old had totaled 10 rushes, 29 yards, and one touchdown through the first two weeks. With Scott sidelined, Trey Sermon will be active for his Eagles debut behind Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell.
Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (forearm) and tackle Jordan Mailata (shoulder) are both questionable to return against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4. Slay has totaled eight tackles and two interceptions this season while Mailata has been pivotal in protecting Philadelphia's playmakers. The Eagles will hope both players are able to return during a challenging clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Thursday, September 29
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) was added to the injury report as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The 23-year-old is coming off an incredible performance in Week 3 where he went for over 160 yards, so it's understandable for him to be dealing with some soreness. With Smith getting in a limited practice on Wednesday, his status for Week 4 is looking fine. However, fantasy managers should keep an eye on his situation for any possible setbacks.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) was able to practice in full on Thursday. This is an upgrade after Smith was limited during Wednesday's practice. This appears to be a minor injury, so Smith shouldn't miss Week 4. Smith struggled in Week 1, but has put together back-to-back solid performances. He should be in the WR2 conversation for the Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hip) was able to practice in full on Thursday. It doesn't sound like the hip injury is serious, so Sanders should be able to suit up in Week 4. He saw 15 carries last week, but only managed 46 yards on the ground. He'll be a low-end RB2 for the Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. His value is based off his volume, which is often times difficult to predict going into the game.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (rib) was not seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Scott is injured heading into the Week 4 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and has played only 36 offensive snaps through the first three games, which is well behind Miles Sanders' 112 and Kenneth Gainwell's 60 so far this year. The 27-year-old can be left on waiver wires for now in the majority of leagues as the No. 3 RB option in Philly's offense. Scott has turned his 11 touches into 31 yards and a touchdown through three games. If he's unable to suit up on Sunday against Jacksonville, Trey Sermon could be active for the first time this year behind Sanders and Gainwell.
Sunday, September 25
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (shin) is questionable to return against the Washington Commanders in Week 3. He had totaled three catches, 26 yards, and one touchdown before exiting. Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra are the next tight ends on the depth chart, though most of Goedert's targets would likely go to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith if he can't return.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
The Philadelphia Eagles have placed defensive end Derek Barnett (knee) on injured reserve. The 26-year-old suffered a torn ACL in their season-opener against the Lions, ending his 2022 campaign. The Eagles' defense started well in a win over the Lions but did allow them to make a push late in the game. The Eagles are an ascending team with playoff aspirations, so they'll need a strong performance on both sides of the ball to make a deep run and contend.
Monday, September 12
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
An MRI exam revealed that Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions, according to a source. It's a big blow to the Eagles defensive line for the rest of the 2022 season, as Barnett has been a starter for the last four seasons. The 26-year-old played just 12 defensive snaps on Sunday before he went down with the injury. With Barnett out the rest of the season, the Eagles will need both Tarron Jackson and Josh Sweat to step up on the D-line. Barnett had 21.5 sacks coming into this season in five years, so he wasn't on the radar in IDP fantasy leagues.
Saturday, September 10
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (allergic reaction) was stung by a bee prior to Friday's practice. As a result, the wideout, who has been allergic most of his life, needed an EpiPen. While the 25-year-old did have some trouble breathing, he is expected to be ready to roll for the season opener against the Detroit Lions. With that said, unless something changes before then from a health standpoint, Brown should remain a must-start in all formats.
Thursday, September 08
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) said he "absolutely" is ready to go and will play in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday in the regular season opener. Sanders was able to practice in full on Wednesday, so he appears ready to go entering the weekend. The 25-year-old didn't help his fantasy stock in training camp while working at times with the second-string offense. Head coach Nick Sirianni still considers Sanders the team's lead back, but he'll continue to cede valuable touches to Kenneth Gainwell, Boston Scott and possibly newcomer Trey Sermon. Sanders failed to find the end zone at all in 2021 and has been slowed by injuries early in his career, making him a low-ceiling RB3/flex to open the 2022 campaign.
Wednesday, September 07
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said his level of concern about running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) is "not high." Sirianni said that every player, including Sanders, will have some level of participation in practice on Wednesday. Sanders was able to return to practice last week, so barring some sort of setback, he should be good to go for Week 1 of the regular season against the Detroit Lions on the road. The 25-year-old failed to find the end zone in 2021 and continues to deal with injuries early in his career, which could lead to a frustrating backfield committee in Philly this year alongside Kenneth Gainwell, Boston Scott and perhaps even newcomer Trey Sermon. Given his recent injury concerns, Sanders will be a shaky RB3/flex for fantasy managers in Week 1 against Detroit.
Monday, September 05
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Andre Dillard (forearm) will have surgery to fix his broken forearm on Tuesday, according to sources. Dillard has a timetable of four to six weeks for a recovery. The 26-year-old swing tackle suffered a non-displaced fracture in his forearm in practice last week and will be sidelined to start the 2022 regular season. The former first-rounder has been a disappointment since entering the league in 2019 out of Washington State, and the Eagles offensive line depth will take a hit early on with Dillard on the shelf.
Friday, September 02
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
The Eagles claimed running back Trey Sermon off waivers. Sermon, who was waived by the 49ers on Wednesday, was selected in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He entered last season with plenty of hype. However, for multiple reasons, he played only nine games and finished the year with 41 carries for 167 yards and a touchdown. Nevertheless, the 23-year-old will now have a fresh start in Philadelphia. Yet, he currently sits behind Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell, and Boston Scott on the depth chart, so his value in redraft formats is currently non-existent. That said, dynasty managers can consider holding on to Sermon a little longer to see if he can turn things around.
Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Andre Dillard (arm) suffered a significant injury during Thursday's practice. The former No. 22 overall pick suffered a broken arm, which is certainly a blow with the regular season about to begin. The expectation is that Dillard will be able to still play this season. Although, he's expected to be the backup left tackle to Jordan Mailata. That being said, the loss of Dillard shouldn't make much of a difference as long as Mailata can stay healthy.
Thursday, September 01
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday for the first time in two-plus weeks. It's good news, but there's still no recovery timetable for the 25-year-old. It's concerning with the start of the regular season just over a week away. We'll have a better idea of his status entering Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. Even if Sanders is active next week, there's a good chance he'll be limited or spelled more often by Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott. After not scoring a single touchdown in 2021, the injury-prone Sanders continues to fall on fantasy draft boards. If you haven't had your draft yet, Sanders is a shaky RB3/flex choice.
Wednesday, August 31
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
The Philadelphia Eagles claimed quarterback Ian Book off waivers from the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday. The Saints waived Book on roster cutdown day on Tuesday, but he'll resurface quickly in Philadelphia. The 24-year-old fourth-round pick went 12-for-20 for 135 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in a 20-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins in 2021 in the only start of his rookie campaign. With the Eagles, he'll serve as the No. 3 signal-caller behind starter Jalen Hurts and backup Gardner Minshew.
Tuesday, August 30
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
The Philadelphia Eagles acquired starting safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and a seventh-round pick in the 2025 draft from the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday in exchange for a fifth-rounder in 2023 and a sixth-round selection in 2024. Gardner-Johnson had been in contract talks with the Saints until a couple of days ago, and when talks broke down, both sides were willing to move on. The Saints have a ton of depth in their secondary, so the 24-year-old became expendable. Gardner-Johnson is a big-time playmaker that will start immediately in Philly's secondary. The former fourth-rounder played in only 11 games last year, recording 46 tackles (32 solo), two sacks, four tackles for loss, four QB hits, a career-high three interceptions and seven passes defensed.

The Philadelphia Eagles released veteran safety Jaquiski Tartt on Monday, according to a source. Tartt was originally a second-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2015 out of Samford. Before signing with the Eagles earlier this offseason, Tartt spent the first seven years of his NFL career with the Niners, racking up 367 tackles (265 solo), 21 tackles for loss, nine QB hits, four sacks, four interceptions, 18 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 80 games (64 starts). In 14 regular season starts in 2021, the 30-year-old had 66 tackles (42 solo), five tackles for loss and a pass defensed. The veteran safety will now look for work on the open market.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) remained out of practice on Monday. Sanders has been out of practice for two-plus weeks, but he still has some time to get healthy before the Week 1 regular season opener against the Detroit Lions. But the 25-year-old's fantasy stock continues to fall after he disappointed with 754 rushing yards and no touchdowns on a career-low 137 carries in 12 games in 2021. When healthy, he's in line to be Philly's lead back, but Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott are on his heels for more playing time. If Sanders can't stay healthy, this Eagles backfield could turn into a full-fledged committee approach, which no fantasy managers wants to be a part of. As of right now, consider Sanders to be a plummeting RB3/flex option.
Thursday, August 25
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has made it clear that running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) is the team's lead back, with Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott playing complementary roles. That's how it was in 2021 as well, but injuries cut into Sanders' production and allowed Gainwell to have a strong rookie season. If Sanders stays healthy and puts it all together, he could have a great year behind a strong offensive line. However, Sanders missed another training camp practice on Wednesday, and health and consistency have been tough for him so far in his career. Gainwell continues to gain fantasy steam with Sanders injured, even if he's expected to be ready for Week 1. Fantasy managers should consider Sanders a risk/reward RB3/flex play in upcoming drafts.
Saturday, August 20
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) missed another training camp practice on Friday, but there is optimism that he'll be ready for the Week 1 season opener against the Detroit Lions. Sanders has been bothered by this injury before, though. "We are just being precautious with him," head coach Nick Sirianni said. "He had some tightness and soreness in it. Just being precautious with him and we'll see how it goes." The 25-year-old was effective with the ball in his hands last season, but he failed to find the end zone and is trying to hold off both Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott heading into the 2022 season. With his injury on top of it, Sanders is quickly becoming one to avoid as an RB3/flex in fantasy drafts.
Friday, August 19
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said he's not going to get into the extent of running back Miles Sanders' hamstring injury, adding that Sanders has tightness and soreness and that the team is being "precautious with him." Sanders missed another training camp practice on Friday, but it sounds as though this isn't a long-term injury that will cause him to miss the start of the regular season. It's unlikely that the 25-year-old will play this Sunday in the second preseason game against the Cleveland Browns. Sanders had a career-high 5.5 yards per carry in 12 games in 2021, but he failed to find the end zone and will need to hold off Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott in Philly's backfield. Sanders' fantasy stock continues to fall as more of an RB3/flex.
