Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Another quiet showing
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 7:30 PM
Goedert recorded two receptions (on four targets) for 27 yards in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: The Eagles' passing game was stalled for much of the game, leading to another relatively quiet performance for Goedert. His primary contribution came on a 22-yard catch in garbage time, but A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith otherwise overshadowed him. Goedert now has fewer than 30 receiving yards in five of his last six games and is very dependent on reaching the end zone to be a viable fantasy contributor. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Limited to 48 yards
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 7:11 PM
Smith recorded five receptions (on eight targets) for 48 yards in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Smith has operated as the Eagles' top pass catcher for most of the season, but A.J. Brown significantly overshadowed him in Friday's loss. Smith's production came primarily on two catches of 30 and 12 yards, the former of which was Philadelphia's second-longest play from scrimmage. Smith has at least seven targets in five of his last six games, though he's been held under 50 receiving yards in two of his last three contests. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Struggles continue
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 6:56 PM
Barkley rushed the ball 13 times for 56 yards in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears. He did not record a catch on two targets.
Analysis: Barkley was fairly efficient on the ground in a change from his recent form, as six of his 13 carries went for at least five yards. However, with the Eagles trailing for much of the game, Barkley saw limited volume, leading to a muted stat line. He also failed to record a reception in a game for the first time this season. Overall, this marked Barkley's ninth performance in 12 games this season with 60 rushing yards or fewer, and he hasn't found the end zone since Week 8. |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts Solid second half in loss
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 6:45 PM
Hurts completed 19 of 34 passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears. He added four rushes for 31 yards but also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Hurts failed to move the Eagles offense in the first half, as he was regularly off target and totaled only 57 passing yards on 10 attempts. He was more effective in the second half, connecting with A.J. Brown on several key completions -- including 33 and four-yard touchdown strikes. Even Hurts' effort in the final two quarters was hampered by two turnovers, however, including a fumble on a Tush Push deep in Bears territory. While he has been inconsistent leading the Philadelphia offense, Hurts has multiple touchdowns in consecutive games and four of his last six contests. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Big game against Bears
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 6:30 PM
Brown recorded 10 receptions (on 12 targets) for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Brown was one of the few bright spots in an Eagles offense that otherwise looked stagnant again. He accounted for both of the team's touchdowns with scores from 33 and four yards away, marking his second consecutive game reaching the end zone. Brown chipped in four additional receptions of at least 15 yards to top the century mark for the second straight matchup. While it's still been a disappointing season overall from Brown, he appears to have overtaken DeVonta Smith as Jalen Hurts' favorite target for the time being. |

A.J. Dillon A.J. Dillon Inactive versus Chicago
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 12:50 PM
Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Friday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Dillon has been passed on the depth chart by both Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley behind Saquon Barkley. In six appearances this season, Dillon has rushed 12 times for 60 scoreless yards, adding two catches for 18 yards on two targets. |

Sam Howell Sam Howell Emergency QB3 for Week 13
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 12:48 PM
Howell (coach's decision) is inactive for Friday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Howell will be available as the emergency QB3 only if Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee are unable to play. Howell has yet to appear in a regular-season contest this season. |
|
Xavier Gipson Xavier Gipson Ruled out for Friday
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 5:12 PM
Gipson (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Gipson suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cowboys and was unable to practice during the week in any capacity. In his absence, Will Shipley will serve as the team's primary kick returner, and Jahan Dotson will likely serve as the punt returner for Friday's matchup against the Bears. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Set to play Friday
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 3:02 PM
Smith (shoulder/chest/illness) doesn't have a designation for Friday's game versus the Bears.
Analysis: Smith was absent from Tuesday's walkthrough due to a shoulder injury, and while he remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice, a chest issue and an illness were added to the practice report. After capping Week 13 prep with a full walkthrough Thursday, he's lined up to be available Friday. Smith has accrued an 11-166-1 line on 23 targets in three contests since the Eagles' Week 9 bye. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Clear for Black Friday
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:56 PM
Barkley (groin) doesn't have a designation for Friday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Barkley opened Week 13 prep with a limited walkthrough Tuesday and followed it up with a capped practice Wednesday due to a groin injury. However, his full walkthrough Thursday paves the way for him to continue to lead the Eagles' ground attack Friday. In three contests since the team's Week 9 bye, Barkley has turned 69 touches into 265 yards from scrimmage and no touchdowns. |

Britain Covey Britain Covey Signs to active roster
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 10:10 AM
Covey was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
Analysis: Covey is replacing safety Andrew Mukuba, who suffered an ankle injury last week against Dallas and landed on injured reserve. The wide receiver and return specialist has mostly seen action in the latter role in his career, producing more than 300 punt-return yards in both the 2022 and 2023 campaigns. That's where Covey may see action Friday against the Bears, especially with Xavier Gipson dealing with a shoulder injury and having lost a fumble last week against the Cowboys. |

Xavier Gipson Xavier Gipson Doesn't practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 5:00 PM
Gipson (shoulder) didn't participate in Philadelphia's practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Gipson has now missed two consecutive practices after suffering a shoulder injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cowboys. Will Shipley should serve as the team's primary kick returner and Jahan Dotson should serve as the punt returner if Gipson is unable to suit up for Friday's matchup versus the Bears. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Limited again Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 2:38 PM
Barkley (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Barkley was also listed as limited during Tuesday's walkthrough session, meaning he will have one more opportunity to upgrade his practice level Thursday, at which point the Eagles will decide whether to assign him an official injury designation for Friday's game against the Bears. It's entirely possible, of course, that the team is simply managing Barkley's reps while facing a short week of preparation. He carried the ball 10 times for 22 yards and secured seven of eight targets for 52 yards during the team's Week 12 loss to the Cowboys. Barkley also lost one fumble versus Dallas. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Not practicing Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 2:35 PM
Smith (shoulder/chest/illness) did not practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Smith was also listed as a non-participant at Tuesday's walkthrough practice while managing a trio of injuries. With a short window of preparation ahead of Friday's matchup against the Bears, it's possible the Eagles are simply taking a cautious approach to Smith's rep count, but he'll likely need to resume practicing in at least a limited fashion Thursday in order to be cleared to play Friday. If Smith is ultimately unable to play Week 13, tight end Dallas Goedert and No. 3 receiver Jahan Dotson will be the biggest beneficiaries of increased pass-catching opportunities. |

Xavier Gipson Xavier Gipson DNP to open week
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 7:17 PM
Gipson (shoulder) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Analysis: Gipson suffered a shoulder injury on a punt return late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's overtime loss to the Cowboys. His practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Bears on Friday. Gipson's absence would result in Will Shipley, Tank Bigsby and Jahan Dotson taking larger roles as returners on kickoffs and punts. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Limited to open week
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 7:16 PM
Barkley (groin) was estimated to be a limited participant at the Eagles' walkthrough Tuesday.
Analysis: Barkley has been managing a groin injury on and off since tweaking his groin in Week 8 versus the Giants, and he has now opened the week on the team's initial injury report. Considering it's a short week for the Eagles, the running back's status at practice will be worth monitoring. Barkley compiled 22 rushing yards on 10 carries while catching seven of eight targets for 52 yards in the team's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys in Week 12. He'll have two more chances to return to practice prior to Friday's contest against the Bears. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Absent from walkthrough
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 7:12 PM
Smith (chest/shoulder) was considered to be a non-participant at the Eagles' walkthrough Tuesday.
Analysis: Smith popped up on the injury report following the team's first gathering of the week, dealing with both a chest injury and a shoulder issue. The wide receiver reeled in six of 11 targets for 89 yards while playing 95 percent of the Philadelphia's offensive snaps in the team's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys in Week 12. Smith will have two more chances to return to the practice field before Friday's matchup with the Bears. |

Darius Cooper Darius Cooper First receptions of 2025 in loss
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 11:40 AM
Cooper caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: The Tarleton State product played 12 offensive snaps and operated as the Eagles' No. 4 wideout in the Week 12 loss. He finished with the sixth-most receiving yards on the team, ahead of Jahan Dotson (who went without a catch on one target). Cooper has appeared in just seven games this season, contributing on both offense (72 snaps) and special teams (37 snaps). He's expected to play a similar role in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears. |

Jahan Dotson Jahan Dotson No catches in Week 12
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 11:34 AM
Dotson failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: The 2022 first-round pick was targeted just once and went without a catch for the third time in the Eagles' last five games during Sunday's loss. Dotson has appeared in all 11 of Philadelphia's games this season, catching 10 of 18 targets for 194 yards and a touchdown across 359 offensive snaps. He's expected to operate as the Eagles' No. 3 wideout but carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears. |
|
Will Shipley Will Shipley No touches vs. Dallas
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 11:30 AM
Shipley accumulated 106 kickoff-return yards and played seven of the Eagles' 58 offensive snaps in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: The 23-year-old from Clemson played more offensive snaps than Tank Bigsby (three) but still didn't record an offensive touch. Shipley has now gone without a carry in four of the Eagles' last six games, indicating he's operating as the team's No. 3 running back. He's expected to continue contributing as one of Philadelphia's top kick returners in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears. |
