Britain Covey Britain Covey Limited offensive work in 2025
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 12:38 PM
Covey caught two of four targets for 20 yards across six regular-season games in 2025. Additionally, he tallied 125 kick-return yards and 124 punt-return yards.
Analysis: Covey spent most of his 2025 campaign with Philadelphia's practice squad before joining the active roster ahead of Week 13. He was primarily limited to special teams, outside of the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Commanders, when he caught two passes for 20 yards while playing 35 offensive snaps. The Utah product also did not log an offensive snap in the wild-card loss to the 49ers but tallied 61 kick-return yards. Set to enter unrestricted free agency, Covey could find work as a return specialist ahead of the 2026 season. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Production dips in 2025
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 12:31 PM
Calcaterra caught nine of 13 targets for 76 yards and one touchdown across 15 regular-season games in 2025.
Analysis: The fourth-year pro from SMU saw declines across several statistical categories compared to his 2024 campaign, recording fewer yards (298 to 76), targets (30 to 13) and receptions (24 to nine) while playing 356 fewer offensive snaps. The drop-off was likely influenced by Dallas Goedert's availability, as he missed seven regular-season games in 2024 but just two in 2025. With Calcaterra's rookie deal ending after the 2025 season, he's now set to enter unrestricted free agency. He could find work with a team in need of tight-end depth and compete for a larger offensive role this summer. |

Cameron Latu Cameron Latu No offensive production in 2025
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 12:22 PM
Latu didn't record an offensive statistic despite logging 104 offensive snaps across 15 regular-season games in 2025.
Analysis: Latu primarily served as a blocker while operating as Philadelphia's No. 4 tight end, receiving no targets this year. Despite the limited offensive involvement, the Alabama product remained a valuable contributor on special teams, playing 256 snaps and recording 11 total tackles during the regular season. Under contract through the 2026 season, Latu is expected to compete for a larger offensive role this offseason. |

Jaheim Bell Jaheim Bell Signed to future deal
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 5:00 PM
The Eagles signed Bell to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.
Analysis: Bell was cut from the Eagles' practice squad in October, and the tight end spent the rest of his season as a member of the Steelers' practice squad. The 24-year-old was not elevated to the active roster for any games this season. With a contract in place, Bell will have a chance to make the 2026 Eagles' roster once training camp commences. |

Carson Steele Carson Steele Gets chance with Eagles
Tue, Jan 13, 2026, 4:22 PM
Philadelphia signed Steele to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
Analysis: Steele didn't log a single regular-season appearance in 2025, though he did spend time on Kansas City's practice squad. Next, the hybrid fullback/running back will get an opportunity to compete for a depth role in the Eagles' backfield this offseason. |

Kylen Granson Kylen Granson Finishes season with career lows
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 8:47 PM
Granson finished his fifth professional season with career lows in catches (seven), targets (nine) and receiving yards (40).
Analysis: Granson posted all those career lows despite suiting up for all 17 games this season, as he simply wasn't part of the Eagles' offensive gameplan. Most of his production came in the final week of the season with the Eagles resting their starers. He averaged just 0.2 catches for 0.6 yards in the first 16 games. |

Darius Cooper Darius Cooper Nine catches in rookie season
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 8:41 PM
Cooper appeared in 13 regular-season games in his rookie season, finishing with nine catches for 92 yards.
Analysis: All nine of Cooper's catches came in the final seven weeks of the season, with a season-high three coming in Week 18 with the Eagles resting their starters. Credit for Cooper for earning a spot on the active roster from Week 1 as an undrafted free agent and for improving throughout the year, but it will take a shakeup to the Eagles' receiver room this offseason for him to have a shot at a fantasy-relevant role. |

Jahan Dotson Jahan Dotson Finishes season with 18 catches
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 8:32 PM
Dotson finished his second season with the Eagles with a total of 18 receptions for 262 yards and one touchdown in 17 regular-season games.
Analysis: Dotson's numbers were very similar to last year's 19 catches for 216 yards and zero scores, a big step down from his average of 42 catches for 520.5 yards and 5.5 touchdowns in his first two years in the league with Washington. If he remains stuck behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in Philadelphia again next season, expect similar production. |

A.J. Dillon A.J. Dillon Ends season with 60 yards
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 8:09 PM
Dillon finished the season with 12 carries for 60 yards and three catches for 21 yards.
Analysis: Dillon entered the year looking like Saquon Barkley's primary backup, but the Eagles were clearly unimpressed with his work, acquiring Tank Bigsby from the Jaguars after Week 1 to fill that role. Dillon held onto a limited role for a few more weeks, but his only game action after Week 6 came in Week 18, with the Eagles resting their starters. |

Will Shipley Will Shipley Step back in second season
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 8:01 PM
Shipley finished his second professional season with 14 carries for 49 yards and added nine receptions for 56 yards in 15 regular-season games.
Analysis: While Shipley played nearly twice as many offensive snaps as he did as a rookie, his total touches dropped from 34 to 23. The 2024 fifth-round pick doesn't appear to be viewed as anything other than a depth option by the Eagles, as the team acquired Tank Bigsby from the Jaguars after Week 2 to serve as Saquon Barkley's primary backup. |

Quez Watkins Quez Watkins Lands in Philly
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 5:45 PM
The Eagles signed Watkins to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: Watkins signed to Philadelphia's practice squad in late September after being cut by Arizona with an injury settlement. The 27-year-old did not appear in a single game this season. The fifth-year pro will participate in the Eagles' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Two TDs not enough in playoff loss
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 7:32 PM
Goedert caught four of seven targets for 33 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Goedert scored both of Philadelphia's touchdowns in the playoff loss, running in a one-yard score in the first quarter before catching a nine-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. He built on a successful regular season during which Goedert led the team with a career-high 11 touchdown catches among his 60 receptions for 591 yards on 82 targets. That strong production will make the 31-year-old tight end a sought-after target in free agency this offseason. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Leading receiver in wild-card loss
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 7:30 PM
Smith caught eight of 11 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Smith accounted for 70 of Jalen Hurts' 168 passing yards while no teammate had more than 33 receiving yards. Sunday's playoff disappointment comes on the heels of Smith's third 1,000-yard regular season in five NFL campaigns, as he caught 77 of 113 targets for 1,008 yards and a career-low four touchdowns while dressing for all 17 regular-season games. Smith is tied to the Eagles through the 2028 season on a three-year, $75 million extension signed in April of 2024. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Costly drops in playoff loss
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 7:29 PM
Brown caught three of seven targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Brown didn't have a catch after the first quarter, recording a couple of costly drops after that point, including one on Philadelphia's final drive of the season, which ended with a turnover on downs from San Francisco's 21-yard line. The enigmatic wide receiver was seen having an animated discussion with head coach Nick Sirianni on the sideline during the game. Brown expressed frustration with his target volume throughout the season despite finishing with a team-high 121 targets in the regular season, which he turned into 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns, but he came up short with his opportunities in the playoffs as the Eagles were eliminated in their first postseason matchup. Despite his love-hate relationship with the coaching staff, Brown likely isn't going anywhere since he's under contract through 2029. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Tops 100 yards in playoff loss
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 7:27 PM
Barkley rushed 26 times for 106 yards and caught three of six targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Barkley ripped off a 29-yard run on Philadelphia's second offensive play to help set up a one-yard Dallas Goedert rushing touchdown on the team's first drive, and the star running back topped 100 yards on the ground after doing so in only three of 16 regular-season games. Despite Barkley's best efforts, he suffered his first playoff loss in an Eagles uniform after winning Super Bowl LIX in his first season with the team. Barkley remains one of the league's best running backs and should maintain a workhorse role for the Eagles in his age-29 season. |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts Struggles in wild-card loss
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 7:26 PM
Hurts completed 20 of 35 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown while rushing five times for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Hurts connected with Dallas Goedert for a nine-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, but Philadelphia's offense turned the ball over on downs from San Francisco's 21-yard line with 43 seconds left in the fourth quarter when a Hurts pass intended for Goedert fell incomplete. Philadelphia's offensive inconsistencies persisted throughout the season and came back to bite the Eagles in the playoffs. Hurts threw for 3,224 yards and a 25:6 TD:INT to go with 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in 16 regular-season games prior to Sunday's loss, which dropped his career playoff record to 6-4. He remains locked in as the Eagles' starting quarterback while playing on a five-year, $255 million contract signed in April of 2023. |

Sam Howell Sam Howell Serving as No. 3 QB again Sunday
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 2:25 PM
Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but will operate as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the 49ers.
Analysis: Howell will continue to serve as Philadelphia's emergency option, and he'll only be able to enter the game if both Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee are forced out. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Ready for Sunday
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 3:04 PM
Calcaterra (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card round matchup with the 49ers.
Analysis: Calcaterra was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited Thursday and a non-participant Wednesday. The tight end is set to suit up for Sunday's wild-card contest as the No. 2 option behind Dallas Goedert. |
|
Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Good to go
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 3:02 PM
Goedert (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Goedert missed Week 18, but so did some of Philadelphia's healthy starters. He was then limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday this week before upgrading to full participation Friday. Goedert should be ready for his usual every-down role come Sunday. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Upgrades to limited practice
Thu, Jan 8, 2026, 4:45 PM
Calcaterra (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.
Analysis: Calcaterra did not practice Wednesday, but he appears to be making progress ahead of Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the 49ers. Meanwhile, top tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) has logged back-to-back limited practices after having sat out Week 18. It appears both TEs have a solid chance of being available for Sunday's contest, and Friday's practice report will officially reveal whether either Calcaterra or Goedert are assigned an official injury tag. |
