DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Logs no preseason action
Fri, Sep 4, 2026, 3:40 PM
Smith didn't make an appearance during the Eagles' three-game preseason slate.
Analysis: Smith picked up a hamstring injury early on in training camp that kept him sidelined for the Eagles' first two exhibitions. After logging a full practice Aug. 24, he had put the issue behind him, but he still rested with the rest of the starters in the team's exhibition finale. With A.J. Brown getting traded to the Patriots this offseason, Smith is positioned as Philadelphia's No. 1 WR, while Dontayvion Wicks, rookie first-rounder Makai Lemon and Hollywood Brown are the next players up at the position. |

Tank Bigsby Tank Bigsby Plays 10 preseason snaps
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 10:43 AM
Bigsby played 10 offensive snaps this preseason before being rested for the final two exhibition contests.
Analysis: The fact he was rested for Weeks 2 and 3 of the preseason while Will Shipley played would suggest Bigsby has a firm grip on RB2 duties in Philadelphia behind Saquon Barkley. Barkley is entering his age-29 season with plenty of miles on his proverbial tires, and there's been talk out of Philly that the team wants to get Bigsby more involved to keep Barkley fresh. If something were to happen to him injury-wise, Bigsby would immediately enter the fantasy RB1 conversation in the Eagles' run-heavy offense that features one of the league's best offensive lines, making him the premier bench stash headed into the 2026 campaign. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert No preseason action
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 10:22 AM
Goedert didn't see any action during the Eagles' three-game preseason slate.
Analysis: The Eagles rested all of their key starters for the three exhibitions. Now 31 years old, Goedert is a veteran who doesn't necessarily need to play in meaningless preseason games. With A.J. Brown now in New England, Goedert is expected to have a big red-zone role for Philadelphia this season after he set a career high with 11 touchdown grabs on 60 catches last season. It will be difficult for Goedert to replicate that astounding touchdown rate, but he's very much in the TE1 mix for fantasy. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley No preseason action
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 6:56 PM
Barkley didn't see any action during the Eagles' three-game preseason slate.
Analysis: At this point in his standout career, Barkley doesn't require exhibition reps to be his usual self once the games begin to count, so it's understandable that coach Nick Sirianni opted to rest Philadelphia's No. 1 RB and other key starters. After reeling off 2,005 rushing yards in 2024 and winning a Super Bowl, Barkley took a step back last season, but he still notched 1,413 yards from scrimmage and nine total TDs on 317 touches in 16 regular-season games. Sirianni has passed off play-calling duties to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, so it remains to be seen how effective Barkley will be in the new scheme. |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts Excited about new offense
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 11:26 AM
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Tuesday that Hurts has "embraced" the new offense and is "excited about it" headed into the season, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: "I think Jalen's adjusted really well to the new offense," Roseman said. "Now again, we're at a moment in time, we haven't played a game. This isn't in reference to Jalen; this is in reference to anything else. I think that a lot of the things that we'll do during the regular season when we have game plans, I think from an offensive perspective, they're going to be different than what we've done in the past. Jalen's embraced it. He's excited about it and obviously we've got to be better than we were last year." Hurts struggled with interceptions a bit over the summer during training camp and didn't see any action during the preseason, so Week 1 against the Commanders will be the first game action under new OC Sean Mannion. The 28-year-old Hurts is expected to once again be in the mix as a top-five fantasy quarterback after setting a new career high with 25 touchdown passes last regular season to go along with a career-best 1.3 percent interception rate. His rushing numbers fell off some, as he punched in just eight touchdown on the ground after averaging 14 over the previous three seasons. |

Reverts to IR
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 10:46 PM
Sam (foot) reverted to the Eagles' injured reserve list Monday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Analysis: The Eagles waived Sam with an injury designation Sunday after he suffered a foot injury during the team's Friday preseason finale against the Bengals. The safety cleared waivers and will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury designation. |

Placed on injured reserve
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 6:57 PM
Bennett (knee) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return by the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: The cornerback has been dealing with a knee injury since around Aug. 20, and he will now need to miss the first four games of the regular season. Bennett has played a depth role in the Philadelphia secondary since joining the team ahead of the 2025 campaign. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Opening season on IR
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 1:50 PM
Calcaterra (back) was placed on injured reserve by the Eagles on Sunday with a designation to return.
Analysis: Calcaterra suffered a back injury, and he was forced to miss the team's final two games of the preseason. The tight end will now be sidelined until at least Week 5, and in his absence, Johnny Mundt will likely operate as the team's primary reserve option behind starter Dallas Goedert. |

Danny Gray Danny Gray Solid performance in preseason finale
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 10:23 PM
Gray caught three of four targets for 38 yards Friday in an exhibition loss to Cincinnati.
Analysis: Gray finished with the second-most receiving yards for the Eagles behind running back Carson Steele's 52. Gray dealt with a concussion in mid-August but was able to return and make one final case for a spot on the 53-man roster. He's likely a long shot to do so, however, given that he hasn't logged a regular-season NFL snap since 2022. |

Britain Covey Britain Covey Catches two passes in exhibition finale
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 10:15 PM
Covey played 29 offensive snaps in Friday's preseason loss to the Bengals, catching two of four targets for 20 yards.
Analysis: Covey dealt with a hamstring issue in early August but was able to suit up for all three of Philadelphia's preseason contests. He caught five of eight targets for 44 yards and a touchdown during those games and also returned four punts for 38 yards. Covey hasn't done much as a pass catcher to this point in his NFL career, so his tough path to making the 53-man roster is probably more tied to his ability to return kicks. |

Elijah Moore Elijah Moore Nabs two short catches in preseason finale
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 10:09 PM
Moore caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Friday's exhibition loss to Cincinnati.
Analysis: Moore got a start for Philadelphia with the team resting most of its regular-season starters. He logged 20 offensive snaps and made two receptions, each of which went for a five-yard gain. Those were the first two catches of a quiet preseason slate for the 26-year-old. He's hoping to make the 53-man roster as a depth option at receiver. |

Andy Dalton Andy Dalton Impressive in final exhibition
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 10:56 PM
Dalton completed 12 of 19 passes for 104 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Eagles' 30-13 preseason loss to the Bengals on Friday.
Analysis: Dalton took over for Tanner McKee to open the second half and got plenty of work, with the highlight of his night a five-yard touchdown pass to Carson Steele late in the third quarter. Dalton finished the preseason having completed 18 of 35 passes for 168 yards with Friday's touchdown, and his performance Friday may have been sufficient to garner him the No. 2 job to open the season. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Unremarkable in preseason loss
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 10:52 PM
McKee completed 12 of 22 passes for 55 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Eagles' 30-13 preseason loss to the Bengals on Friday.
Analysis: McKee drew the start and played the entire first half, but as his final line indicates, he had significant trouble moving the ball downfield. The 2023 sixth-round pick had put together markedly better performance in preseason Week 2 against the Patriots, when he'd completed 72.7 percent of his 22 pass attempts for 173 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. McKee's sluggish showing Friday paired with Andy Dalton's solid second-half numbers (12-for-19, 104 yards, one TD) may be enough to give the latter the inside track to the No. 2 job to open the season. |

Injures left foot Friday
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 10:26 PM
Sam injured his left foot during the Eagles' 30-13 preseason loss to the Bengals on Friday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Sam was having a strong game on both defense and special teams before sustaining the injury late in the third quarter, and the injury was severe enough for him to be carted off the field. He was spotted after the game with a brace on his left foot, and he'll undergo more tests to determine the severity of the injury and a recovery timeline. Sam finished Friday's exhibition game with three tackles (one solo), one pass defense and two fumble recoveries. |

Makai Lemon Makai Lemon Three catches in preseason debut
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 10:23 PM
Lemon brought in three of five targets for five yards and returned one punt return for no gain in the Eagles' 30-13 preseason loss to the Bengals on Friday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Lemon made his long-awaited pro debut after finally overcoming a nagging hamstring injury, and although he was certainly kept busy during his time in the game, he extracted minimal gains from his receptions. The 2026 first-round pick is still ticketed for the No. 3 receiver role to open the season despite the missed time, and Lemon will now have the opportunity to garner plenty of practice reps ahead of a Week 1 home matchup against the Commanders on Sept. 13. |

Tahj Washington Tahj Washington Signs with Philly
Thu, Aug 27, 2026, 6:25 PM
Washington signed with the Eagles on Thursday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver was waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday after two seasons with the team. Washington recorded three catches for 37 yards and no touchdowns in 2025. He likely faces an uphill climb for a roster in a crowded Eagles receiver room. |

Eli Stowers Eli Stowers Could be healthy scratch on Sundays
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 2:23 PM
Stowers (hamstring) may not be active on gamedays even if he returns to health before the start of the regular season, according to Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.
Analysis: The second-round pick reportedly had a quiet training camp even before his recent absences with a hamstring injury. He's caught three of five targets for 12 yards in two preseason appearances, and it looks like he may now open his career fourth on the depth chart. The Eagles also have veterans Johnny Mundt and Grant Calcaterra (back) competing for snaps behind veteran starter Dallas Goedert. Any hope for Stowers having Year 1 fantasy value entails Goedert missing time, though it sounds like that alone might not do the trick with Mundt and Calcaterra also in the mix to provide superior blocking and experience. |

Ja'Quinden Jackson Ja'Quinden Jackson Reverts to Philly's IR
Tue, Aug 25, 2026, 6:30 PM
Jackson (undisclosed) reverted from waivers to Philadelphia's injured reserve list Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Jackson was not claimed by another squad after the Eagles waived him with an injury designation Monday, and he's now in line to spend the whole 2026 campaign on IR. Jackson left Saturday's preseason game at New England in an ambulance, but his CT scans came back negative. |

Misses practice Monday
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 8:22 PM
Bell (thumb) had to sit out of practice Monday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The offensive tackle is dealing with both thumb and leg issues, per Kubena. Bell put together a strong preseason performance against New England on Saturday and is considered a lock to make the Eagles' roster. As long as his injuries are minor, his status as the backup right tackle to Lane Johnson shouldn't change. |

Jordan Mims Jordan Mims Catches on with Philadelphia
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 7:06 PM
The Eagles signed Mims to a contract Monday.
Analysis: Mims will join the Eagles for the final week of training camp after being waived by the Vikings on Aug. 12. He's unlikely to make the 53-man roster by the end of training camp, but a strong week of practice and a nice performance in Friday's preseason finale against the Bengals could be enough to convince the Eagles' coaching staff to keep Mims around on the practice squad. |
