Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Clear for Week 6
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 3:34 PM
Wicks (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Panthers.
Analysis: Wicks was limited Wednesday and didn't log any on-field work Thursday, but an uncapped session Friday has him in the clear for Week 6 action. He'll be welcoming back DeVonta Smith (hamstring) to the lineup, though, which may not allow Wicks to reach the 6.5 targets per game that he received during Smith's two-game absence. |
DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Ready to return Sunday
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 3:25 PM
Smith (hamstring) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.
Analysis: Prior to logging a limited practice Thursday, Smith had been working on a side field for roughly one week, so a return to action seemed possible before the Eagles cleared him outright Friday. He thus will be making his first appearance this weekend since a Week 3 loss at Chicago, looking to build upon his 19-235-1 line on 27 targets through the first three contests. Smith won't be working with Jalen Hurts (calf) due to a blood clot, though, with backup QB Tanner McKee subbing in for Hurts for as long as the latter is sidelined. |
Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Ruled out for Week 6
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 3:19 PM
Barkley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: After missing a second straight week of practice due to a right hamstring injury, Barkley subsequently will be inactive for a second occasion this season. The Eagles placed Will Shipley (foot) on injured reserve Friday, so the backfield currently is occupied by Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele, the former of whom is the favorite to garner more of the workload for as long as Barkley is sidelined. |
Will Shipley Will Shipley Placed on injured reserve
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 3:07 PM
The Eagles placed Shipley (foot) on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: After being diagnosed with a partial tear of his plantar fascia earlier this week, Shipley was slated for a multi-week absence, and he now will miss at least the next four games while on IR. He'll join Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on the list, and with Saquon Barkley currently tending to a lingering hamstring injury, the Eagles have just two healthy RBs (Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele) on the active roster. Shipley's next chance for game action is Sunday, Nov. 22 against the Steelers. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Feeling 'good' about prospects
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 1:47 PM
Smith (hamstring) said Friday that he is "good" and that his availability for Week 6 is "up to the doctors," Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Smith returned to practice Thursday and per reporters also got some work in Friday, so it seems he will have a chance to return to action in Week 6. His status for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers will officially be revealed when the Eagles release their final injury report of the week later Friday. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Practicing Friday
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 11:52 AM
Smith (hamstring) is practicing Friday, Jimmy Kempski of The Philly Voice reports.
Analysis: Smith returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, after missing the past two games. If he does play against the Panthers on Sunday, he'll be catching passes from backup QB Tanner McKee. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Missing practice again Friday
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 11:48 AM
Barkley (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Analysis: Barkley hasn't practiced the past two weeks and now appears likely to miss a second game. The Eagles will be short-handed, to say the least, with QB Jalen Hurts (blood clot) now joining the long list of starters to miss time this season. If Barkley is indeed inactive, Dameon Pierce will be the favorite to start at running back for Philadelphia. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Returns to practice Friday
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 11:29 AM
Wicks (hamstring) is practicing Friday, Andrew DiCecco reports.
Analysis: The extent of Wicks' participation is unclear, but it's at least a good sign relative to Thursday when he didn't practice at all. He was limited Wednesday, after playing through the injury in a Week 5 loss to Jacksonville. Fellow Eagle wideout DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also returned to practice Thursday, but it isn't clear if he has a real shot to play Sunday against the Panthers. |
Joe Milton III Joe Milton III Signing with Eagles
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 10:37 AM
The Eagles are signing Milton off the Cowboys' practice squad, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Analysis: With Jalen Hurts recovering from a blood clot on his calf, the Eagles are set to start Tanner McKee this Sunday against the Panthers. Should Hurts miss additional time, Milton could eventually become an option to make starts, though he'll likely be focused on learning the offense and otherwise acclimating for the next few weeks. |
Full practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 11:20 PM
Epps (groin) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Epps was held out of Weeks 4 and 5 due to a groin injury, but with a full practice under his belt, he's poised to regain his standing as the Eagles' starting strong safety Sunday against the Panthers. Prior to the recent absence, he tallied 14 tackles in the first three games of the campaign. |

Will Shipley Will Shipley DNP on Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 4:53 PM
Shipley (foot) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Considering Shipley suffered a partial tear of his plantar fascia during this past Sunday's defeat to the Jaguars in London and is facing a multi-week absence, his lack of practice reps so far this week is expected. With No. 1 RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) also not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, the Eagles may be preparing to deploy the duo of Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele out of their backfield Sunday against the Panthers. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Doesn't practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 4:46 PM
Wicks (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wicks was limited on the final two Week 5 injury reports due to a hamstring issue, but he didn't carry a designation into the weekend and suited up for this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars in London, earning an 84 percent snap share and hauling in five of eight targets for 63 yards. He opened this week as limited Wednesday, so his downgrade one day later may be cause for concern. Friday's practice report could unveil if Wicks is in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Panthers. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Upgrades to limited Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 4:39 PM
Smith (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Analysis: Before he mixed back into drills Thursday, Smith hadn't practiced since logging all 50 offensive snaps during a Week 3 loss at Chicago. On a positive note, he's been working on the side since last Thursday, and his upgrade from DNP this Wednesday to limited one day later gives him a reasonable to chance to return to action Sunday versus the Panthers. Friday's injury report will reveal Smith's odds to play this weekend, and if he's able to do so, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from QB Tanner McKee after Jalen Hurts was ruled out for Week 6 action due to a blood clot. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Remains sidelined Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 4:32 PM
Barkley (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.
Analysis: Barkley's lack of activity so far this week isn't a surprise considering he hasn't been present for either of the Eagles' two practices. He thus has one more opportunity to attempt to mix into drills Friday, at which point the team may make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers. If Barkley and fellow RB Will Shipley (foot) are sidelined this weekend, Dameon Pierce is the top candidate to pace Philadelphia's backfield, with Carson Steele also on hand for reps that linger. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Not in attendance Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 1:25 PM
Barkley (hamstring) wasn't present for the open portion of Thursday's practice, Martin Frank of The News Journal reports.
Analysis: As of Wednesday, Barkley has been listed as a non-participant on four consecutive injury reports due to a right hamstring issue, and he seems poised to make it five such listings once the Eagles post their second Week 6 report. With Will Shipley (foot) likely out for multiple weeks, Dameon Pierce seems set for a large workload out of the backfield Sunday against the Panthers, assuming Barkley doesn't put himself in a position to play. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Working off to side Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 1:20 PM
Smith was not seen with his helmet during the media viewing period Thursday,Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Smith is nursing hamstring and toe injuries and it appears he'll be missing his second straight practice Thursday. He has missed back-to-back games and doesn't seem to be trending towards a return in Week 6 against the Panthers. The Eagles will already be missing Jalen Hurts (blood clot) for Sunday's game. |
Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Primed for start Week 6
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 12:29 PM
McKee appears lined up to start Sunday's game against the Panthers after the Eagles announced Wednesday that Jalen Hurts has been ruled out for Week 6 due to a superficial blood clot on his calf, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: While the Eagles could look to re-sign the recently released Andy Dalton to give the quarterback room another experienced option in Hurts' absence, McKee looks poised to draw the start after moving ahead of Dalton on the depth chart prior to Week 4. Hurts' availability beyond Week 6 is in flux while the Eagles determine the appropriate course for his treatment, so McKee could be headed for a multi-game run as the team's starter. A 2023 sixth-round pick, McKee has appeared in just six games (two starts) during his four-year career, completing 54 of 88 pass attempts (61.4 percent) for 597 yards (6.8 YPA) and a 5:1 TD:INT. Assuming he starts, McKee may have few weapons at his disposal, as running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and wideout DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were absent from practice Wednesday and could be tracking toward sitting out this weekend. |
Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts Out Week 6 due to blood clot on calf
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 12:11 PM
The Eagles have ruled Hurts out for Sunday's game against the Panthers after a follow-up ultrasound performed on his calf Wednesday revealed movement in a small blood clot, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to a statement from the team, Hurts requested treatment for his calf following practice Oct. 8, a few days after he had been cleated in the leg during the team's Week 4 loss to the Rams. Hurts underwent an initial ultrasound Saturday following the Eagles' flight to London, with imaging revealing the superficial blood clot. After the results of the ultrasound were reviewed, doctors determined that Hurts could safely play in the Eagles' eventual 19-17 loss to the Jaguars. However, after practicing fully Wednesday to kick off Week 6 prep, the quarterback was sent in for a follow-up ultrasound, which showed movement in the blood clot. As a result, the Eagles have elected to hold Hurts out of action for at least one game, with backup Tanner McKee now primed to start against the Panthers. Since the Eagles are still in the process of determining the appropriate course of treatment for Hurts, his status beyond Week 6 is uncertain at the moment. |

Designated to return from IR
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 8:09 PM
Dickerson (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Dickerson has been on injured reserve since suffering a knee injury in the team's win over Washington in Week 1. The offensive lineman's 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and he was a limited participant at the team's first practice of the week. |
|
Practice window opened
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 8:04 PM
Bennett (knee) had his 21-day practice window opened by the Eagles on Wednesday.
Analysis: Bennett has spent the entirety of the regular season on injured reserve with a knee injury, but he officially made his return to practice Wednesday, logging a limited session. The cornerback will have two more chances to practice in full before potentially making his regular-season debut Sunday versus Carolina. |
