Will Shipley Will Shipley Suffers rib injury
Thu, Sep 4, 2025, 9:17 PM
Shipley is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys due to a rib injury.
Analysis: Shipley got hit hard on a kick return late in the first half and wasn't spotted with the team coming out to begin the third quarter. AJ Dillon rotated in behind Saquon Barkley and will serve as the backup running back if Shipley is unable to return. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Ruled out for Week 1
Wed, Sep 3, 2025, 4:04 PM
McKee (thumb) did not practice Wednesday and is ruled out for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Cowboys.
Analysis: McKee won't be available at home versus Dallas in Week 1, leaving Sam Howell in position to serve as the top backup to quarterback Jalen Hurts. The 2023 sixth-round pick is working his way back from a thumb fracture on his right throwing hand suffered Aug. 24. His next chance to suit up will come Week 2 on the road at Kansas City on Sunday, Sept. 14. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Doesn't practice Tuesday
Tue, Sep 2, 2025, 4:13 PM
McKee (thumb) did not participate in Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: McKee is working through a right thumb fracture, which is severe enough for him to not throw and hold the ball with his left, non-throwing hand, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. It's looking increasingly unlikely that McKee will play in Thursday's regular-season opener against the Cowboys, which means Sam Howell will likely serve as the Eagles' QB2 behind starter Jalen Hurts. |

Sam Howell Sam Howell Expected to be QB2
Tue, Sep 2, 2025, 2:01 PM
Howell is expected to serve as the Eagles' QB2 for Thursday night's Week 1 opener against the Cowboys, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Tanner McKee has a hand injury and isn't expected to be ready to back up Jalen Hurts for Week 1. Howell was acquired from the Vikings in late August. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Set to face Dallas
Mon, Sep 1, 2025, 4:58 PM
Goedert (groin) doesn't appear on the Eagles' injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Goedert had been managing a groin issue, but the Eagles' top tight end is ready for Week 1 action along with starting wideouts DeVonta Smith (groin) and A.J. Brown (hamstring). The three combine to form the nucleus of Philadelphia's passing attack, while Saquon Barkley is set to reprise his role as the team's featured back. Goedert logged a 42/496/2 receiving line (on 52 targets) in 10 regular-season contests last season and maintains his standing as the top option in a TE corps that also includes Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Not on injury report
Mon, Sep 1, 2025, 4:52 PM
Smith (groin) doesn't appear on the Eagles' injury report in advance of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: That's also the case with A.J. Brown (hamstring), so the Eagles will indeed have both wideouts available for Week 1 action. As the coming season approaches, Smith and Brown remain the team's clear-cut top two options at their position, with Jahan Dotson, John Metchie and Darius Cooper rounding out Philadelphia's WR corps. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Ready for Week 1
Mon, Sep 1, 2025, 4:41 PM
Brown (hamstring) doesn't appear on the Eagles' injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: The same applies to DeVonta Smith (groin), which paves the way for the Eagles' top two wideouts to be available for Week 1 action. Brown, who is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a 67/1,079/7 receiving line (on 97 targets) in 13 contests, is in line to continue in his key role in a Philadelphia passing offense that runs largely through him, Smith and TE Dallas Goedert. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Remains out of practice Monday
Mon, Sep 1, 2025, 4:37 PM
McKee (thumb) didn't practice Monday.
Analysis: It's looking more and more like McKee won't be available for Thursday's regular-season opener against Dallas, as he's still recovering from a fractured thumb. If he doesn't suit up, Sam Howell would likely back up Jalen Hurts against the Cowboys. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Still not practicing Sunday
Sun, Aug 31, 2025, 2:20 PM
McKee (thumb) isn't practicing Sunday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: McKee is dealing with a fractured thumb and hasn't practiced for about two weeks. With Philadelphia's regular-season opener against Dallas taking place Thursday, it's looking likely that McKee won't be ready to suit up. If that's the case, Sam Howell would be in line to serve as the backup QB behind Jalen Hurts. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Taking part in practice
Thu, Aug 28, 2025, 1:13 PM
Smith (groin) is practicing Thursday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Smith and A.J. Brown are both present at practice for a second consecutive day, as the star WR tandem continues to ramp things up ahead of the regular-season opener against Dallas on Thursday, Sept. 4. All indications remain that the Eagles expect both Smith and Brown to be available Week 1. A groin injury has hampered Smith's participation level since Aug. 19. |
|
A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Participating in practice again
Thu, Aug 28, 2025, 1:07 PM
Brown (hamstring) is practicing Thursday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Brown also took part in Wednesday's practice. Though the star wideout has spent most of August managing a lingering hamstring injury, all signs have continued to point to his being available Week 1 against the Cowboys. DeVonta Smith (groin) is also practicing Thursday. |

Elijah Cooks Elijah Cooks Busy in return from injury
Sun, Aug 24, 2025, 7:26 PM
Cooks recorded two receptions on six targets for 14 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets.
Analysis: Cooks suffered a shoulder injury in early August and missed the Eagles' second preseason game as a result. He returned to the field Friday and finished second on the team in targets while playing 36 offensive snaps. Cooks is unlikely to make the roster, but he could land on a practice squad. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Diagnosed with fractured thumb
Sun, Aug 24, 2025, 1:37 PM
McKee is dealing with a fractured thumb and may not be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though McKee's injury brings his availability for the beginning of the regular season into question, Rapoport notes that the issue isn't major, adding that the fracture is to "just the top of the thumb." Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that the quarterback suffered the injury during practice and agrees that it's not expected to be a long-term issue. The Eagles traded for Sam Howell in a deal with Minnesota on Sunday, giving them insurance in case McKee does indeed to need to sit out the team's opener Thursday, Sept. 4 against Dallas. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Expected to fade IR stint
Sun, Aug 24, 2025, 12:07 PM
McKee's finger injury is considered minor, and the 2023 sixth-rounder isn't expected to start the regular season on injured reserve, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: McKee missed the Eagles' last two preseason games due to a finger injury. The injury isn't severe enough for him to miss extended time, but the Eagles' acquisition of Sam Howell from the Vikings on Sunday indicates that McKee is in jeopardy of being sidelined for Week 1 against the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Status for Week 1 up in the air
Sat, Aug 23, 2025, 10:16 AM
Head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters Friday that McKee is "working to get back" from a finger injury that caused him to miss the Eagles' last two preseason games, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With McKee dealing with a finger injury and Jalen Hurts resting, Kyle McCord has handled most of the quarterback snaps over the Eagles' last two preseason games. McKee played well in Philadelphia's preseason opener against Cincinnati, and he is entrenched as the QB2 behind Hurts heading into the regular season. Either McCord or Dorian Thompson-Robinson would step up as the backup for Week 1 against the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4 if McKee is not cleared to play. |

John Metchie John Metchie One catch in preseason finale
Fri, Aug 22, 2025, 11:23 PM
Metchie caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets.
Analysis: Metchie made his Eagles debut after being acquired in a trade from the Texans on Sunday. With Philadelphia's preseason now concluded, Metchie is set to begin the regular season in a depth role, though Jahan Dotson didn't do much last season to cement himself as the No. 3 wide receiver behind A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (groin). |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts No preseason reps
Fri, Aug 22, 2025, 10:13 PM
Hurts didn't play in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets.
Analysis: Hurts didn't play in the preseason as the Eagles used the exhibition slate to evaluate their backup quarterback options after trading away Kenny Pickett in the offseason. Hurts didn't need the reps after leading Philadelphia to a Super Bowl title last season, but he'll be ready to go for the start of regular-season play against the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4. He's being drafted as a consensus top-five fantasy quarterback in most formats after averaging 20 passing touchdowns and 13 rushing TDs over the past four regular seasons. |
|
Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley No preseason playing time
Fri, Aug 22, 2025, 10:10 PM
Barkley didn't play in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets.
Analysis: Barkley didn't see the field in any of Philadelphia's three preseason games, as the Eagles understandably don't want to add any tread to the star running back's tires after he handled a league-high 345 regular-season carries in 2024, plus another 91 in the playoffs. History hasn't been kind to running backs in the season following such a heavy workload, but Barkley's a unique talent at the position. He'll be locked into an every-down role starting with Philadelphia's season opener against the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4, with Will Shipley and AJ Dillon contending for backup duties. |

A.J. Dillon A.J. Dillon Not slated to play Friday
Fri, Aug 22, 2025, 5:49 PM
Dillon isn't in line to play in Friday's preseason game at the Jets, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: After sitting out the 2024 season due to complications stemming from a stinger, Dillon joined the Eagles on a one-year contract in March. He then suited up for both of the team's first two exhibitions, totaling eight carries for 34 yards and four catches for 13 yards. He's been listed as Philadelphia's third RB on the unofficial depth chart behind Saquon Barkley and Will Shipley during training camp, which may not afford him much more than short-yardage work once Week 1 rolls around. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Running routes pre-game
Fri, Aug 22, 2025, 3:39 PM
Brown (hamstring) went through a pregame workout Friday, John Clark of NBC Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Brown has been managing a hamstring injury since the first week of August, with no indication so far that it's considered a threat to his Week 1 availability. Fantasy managers will feel much better if he returns to full practice participation soon, but Friday's video of the pregame workout suggests Brown's hamstring is feeling much better, running routes and catching passes at close to full speed. |
