Cameron Latu Cameron Latu Headed to Philadelphia
Tue, Jan 21, 2025, 7:06 PM
The Eagles signed Latu to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Latu spent most of the 2024 regular season on the Browns' practice squad after being waived by the 49ers at the end of training camp in late August. Latu will have an opportunity to work with Eagles' training staff in the spring during OTAs and minicamp and will aim to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign. He has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game since being selected by San Francisco in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 101st overall. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Leading receiver as Philly advances
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 9:53 PM
Goedert caught all four of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams.
Analysis: The tight end led all Eagles pass catchers in yardage, as Jalen Hurts threw for only 128 yards on the day. Goedert is having a solid playoff so far, posting an 8-103-1 line on 10 targets through two games, and with the team's passing game being subordinate to its run game, he might be the most reliable downfield option Philly has heading into an NFC Championship Game clash against the Commanders. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Four grabs against Rams
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 9:18 PM
Smith caught all four of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams.
Analysis: While it wasn't much, the production led all the Eagles' wide receivers on the day, as the team's offense continues to be carried on Saquon Barkley's shoulders. Smith has managed an 8-76-0 line on eight targets over Philly's two playoff games despite the limited volume available, and he might find more success in the NFC Championship Game against a Commanders secondary that had its issues during the regular season. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Just two catches in Sunday's win
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 8:59 PM
Brown caught two of seven targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams.
Analysis: The Eagles' passing game has been completely de-emphasized during their playoff run, and Brown's production has taken the biggest hit. The star wideout has only a 3-24-0 line on 10 targets through two games -- a lower yardage total than he delivered in any single game during the regular season. Unless the Commanders find some way to bottle up Saquon Barkley next Sunday in the NFC Championship Game, Brown may have trouble making an impact again. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Massive output in Sunday's win
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 8:39 PM
Barkley carried the ball 26 times for 205 yards and two touchdowns while catching all four of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams.
Analysis: Most of his yardage came on two long touchdowns, a 62-yard dash late in the first quarter and a 78-yard score that put the game away in the fourth. Between the regular season and the playoffs, Barkley has 2,329 rushing yards through 18 appearances, leaving him 147 short of Terrell Davis' all-time NFL record. As the focal point of the Philly offense, Barkley will take aim at that mark while trying to help his team reach the Super Bowl next Sunday against the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game. |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts Does damage on ground against Rams
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 8:19 PM
Hurts completed 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while adding 70 rushing yards and a TD on seven carries in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams.
Analysis: For the second straight postseason game, Hurts threw for under 150 yards, but this time he bolstered his production with a 44-yard dash to the end zone early in the first quarter -- the longest touchdown run of his career. The QB did get checked out in the medical tent in the third quarter for a potential leg injury after taking a sack, but he didn't end up missing a snap. Hurts will try to lead the Eagles into the Super Bowl next weekend in the NFC Championship Game against the Commanders. |

Ainias Smith Ainias Smith Inactive for divisional round
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 12:43 PM
Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against the Rams.
Analysis: Smith will be a healthy scratch for the second playoff game in a row. The rookie wideout caught four passes for 35 yards and a touchdown when the team rested its primary starters Week 18, but he was a non-factor on offense during his previous six appearances in the regular season. Smith will once again watch from the sideline while A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell fill out the Eagles' wide receiver corps. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Set for divisional round
Fri, Jan 17, 2025, 3:07 PM
Goedert (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round game versus the Rams.
Analysis: After missing Thursday's practice due to an illness, Goedert was back on the field Friday, when he went down as a limited participant. No matter, the ailment won't stop him from being available to the Eagles offense Sunday against a Los Angeles defense that has given up the most catches (114) and fifth-most TD receptions (eight) to opposing tight ends in 18 outings between the regular season and playoffs. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Clear for Sunday's contest
Fri, Jan 17, 2025, 3:02 PM
Brown (knee/rest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams.
Analysis: As has been the norm for Brown since Week 16 prep, Brown endured some practice restrictions this week due to knee/rest, sitting out Wednesday before returning as a limited participant one day later. With a full session under his belt Friday, he again is good to go versus a Los Angeles defense that has allowed 7.97 YPT (13th in the NFL) and 20 receiving touchdowns (tied for fourth most) to opposing wide receivers in 18 contests between the regular season and playoffs. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Back at practice Friday
Fri, Jan 17, 2025, 12:16 PM
Goedert (illness) returned to practice Friday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Analysis: Goedert made a midweek appearance on the Eagles' injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness. Because the bug seemingly was a temporary concern, he may not be in danger of missing Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Goedert heads into the weekend with a designation. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Officially limited Thursday
Thu, Jan 16, 2025, 4:44 PM
Brown (knee/rest) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
Analysis: As he predicted, Brown followed up Wednesday's absence from practice with a cap on his reps one day later as he continues to deal with a knee injury that has lingered since preparations for Week 16. He's played in three of four games in the meantime -- in the fourth, Week 18 against the Giants, most Eagles starters sat out -- and he's handled greater than a 90 percent snap share all three times. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Brown enters the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Rams. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Comes down with illness
Thu, Jan 16, 2025, 1:59 PM
Goedert didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Weeks 14-17 due to a knee injury and making a cameo Week 18 against the Giants, Goedert returned to a normal workload this past Sunday versus the Packers, handling a 92 percent snap share en route to four catches (on six targets) for 47 yards and one touchdown. With an illness now afflicting him, his status will be one to monitor ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Back at practice Thursday
Thu, Jan 16, 2025, 1:40 PM
Brown (knee/rest) returned to practice Thursday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Brown officially was a non-participant at Wednesday's session, after which he told Zangaro that he planned to mix into drills Thursday. While this has manifested itself, Brown's activity level won't be known until the Eagles post their second injury report of the week. Brown has been tending to a knee injury since Week 16 prep but otherwise has played through it, aside from sitting out Week 18 along with a number of starters. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Doesn't practice Wednesday
Wed, Jan 15, 2025, 4:56 PM
Brown (knee/rest) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Brown continues to manage a knee issue, with the wideout indicating that his non-participation Wednesday is part of that plan and that he's slated to practice Thursday, per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia. Assuming no setbacks, look for Brown to practice fully by Friday and approach Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams without an injury designation. |

Parris Campbell Parris Campbell Secures spot on active roster
Tue, Jan 14, 2025, 7:13 PM
The Eagles signed Campbell from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.
Analysis: Campbell bounced around between Philadelphia's practice squad and active roster throughout the campaign, and he played in five regular-season games, tallying six catches for 30 yards and one touchdown. The veteran wideout was elevated from the team's practice squad for Sunday's wild-card win over the Packers and logged two special-teams snaps without recording any other stats. Campbell will provide the Eagles with receiver depth for Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Rams, though he's not likely to see much work on offense. |

Jahan Dotson Jahan Dotson Opens scoring in playoff win
Mon, Jan 13, 2025, 4:47 PM
Dotson reached the end zone for the first time as an Eagle in Sunday's wild-card win over the Packers, finishing with one catch for an 11-yard score.
Analysis: The Eagles got off to a quick start in their 22-10 win, forcing a fumble on the opening kickoff and scoring just three plays later on 2nd-and-9 from the 11. Jalen Hurts had nearly seven seconds in the pocket and found Dotson wide open at the back of the end zone for the wideout's first score since Week 11 of the 2023 season. The rest of the game was more typical for Dotson's time in Philadelphia, as he received just one more target and no more interceptions. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Returns to No. 3 role
Mon, Jan 13, 2025, 9:15 AM
McKee was inactive as the Eagles' emergency No. 3 quarterback for Sunday's 22-10 wild-card win over the Packers.
Analysis: Though Jalen Hurts cleared concussion protocol and returned to the starting role after missing the final two games of the regular season, McKee looked as though he might have made a case to replace Kenny Pickett as the Eagles' No. 2 signal-caller based on his performance in Weeks 17 and 18. Pickett started and played the majority of the Eagles' 41-7 win over the Cowboys in Week 17, but he left that game early with a rib injury to pave the way for McKee to take his first NFL snaps. McKee completed three of four attempts for 54 yards and two touchdowns in relief, then started the Week 18 win over the Giants while both Hurts and Pickett were sidelined and completed 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns. Despite McKee's strong showing the previous two games, the Eagles ultimately elected to keep him in the No. 3 role for the playoff opener with Pickett displaying enough progress in his recovery from the injury in practice this past week to suit up as Hurts' top backup. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Hauls in TD against Green Bay
Sun, Jan 12, 2025, 8:20 PM
Goedert caught four of six targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers.
Analysis: The tight end connected with Jalen Hurts on a 24-yard score late in the third quarter to help put the game out of reach. Goedert has gotten into the end zone in three of his last six games dating back to Week 10, but that stretch was interrupted by an IR stint late in the regular season due to a knee injury. A healthy Goedert should remain one of Hurts' top options in the divisional round. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Leading receiver in wild-card win
Sun, Jan 12, 2025, 8:16 PM
Smith caught all four of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers.
Analysis: The Eagles' passing game had a fairly quiet afternoon and Smith led the team in receiving yards, although he wasn't on the other end of either of Jalen Hurts' TD passes. The fourth-year wideout has caught at least four passes in six straight appearances dating back to Week 11, posting a 35-401-4 line on 43 targets over that stretch, giving Smith plenty of momentum heading into the divisional round. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Not needed in Sunday's win
Sun, Jan 12, 2025, 8:06 PM
Brown caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers.
Analysis: The Eagles' offense didn't really need to do much after jumping out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, but Brown's lack of volume was still curious. Tight end Dallas Goedert wound up leading the team with six targets, however, with Brown finishing third behind DeVonta Smith's four. Brown hasn't received fewer than six targets in consecutive games all year, so chances are good that Philly's leading receiver will be much more involved in the divisional round after posting a 67-1,079-7 line in only 13 regular-season contests. |
