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. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Still limited at practice
Thu, Jan 8, 2026, 4:29 PM
Goedert (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: After missing the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Commanders due to a knee injury, Goedert has put together back-to-back capped sessions to begin this week. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers. Goedert finished the 2025 regular season with career highs in catches (60) and TD receptions (11) while also accumulating 591 yards and 82 targets in 15 contests. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Not practicing
Wed, Jan 7, 2026, 4:40 PM
Calcaterra (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Calcaterra made an early exit from Sunday's 24-17 loss to Washington on account of knee and ankle injuries. He's now listed with just an ankle injury, but it's not enough to keep him out of practice, whereas starting tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) was a limited participant Wednesday. Goedert didn't practice or play last week, but he now appears on track to return for Sunday's game against the 49ers. |
|
Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Limited practice Wednesday
Wed, Jan 7, 2026, 4:28 PM
Goedert (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Goedert didn't take part in Week 18 prep due to a knee injury and was sidelined for this past Sunday's loss to the Commanders. Now that he's back on the practice field, he at least has made some progress in his recovery, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice this week before the Eagles potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Inconsistent in Week 18 loss
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 10:27 PM
McKee completed 21 of 40 passes for 241 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders. He added two rushes for three yards.
Analysis: Jalen Hurts was active for the game but did not play, leaving McKee with the chance for a spot start. McKee was unsurprisingly inconsistent, leading an impressive 80-yard scoring drive that he capped off with a 15-yard throw to Greg Calcaterra early in the second quarter. However, he otherwise largely struggled, with the Eagles' only other touchdown coming on a short field due to a Washington turnover. McKee will return to a reserve role for Philadelphia's playoff run and for the foreseeable future. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Reaches 1,000 receiving yards
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 9:18 PM
Smith recorded three receptions on four targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Smith was one of the few key Eagles' skill-position players to log snaps, likely because he entered the contest needing 44 receiving yards to reach 1,000 on the campaign. He was targeted frequently early in the contest, logging all of his stats within the team's first two offensive possessions. Smith ultimately reached the 1,000-yard mark on an impressive leaping catch for 27 yards on the final play of the opening quarter. He then rested for the remainder of the game and will play a key role in Philadelphia's wild-card round matchup against the 49ers on Sunday afternoon. |
