Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Limited at practice
Thu, Sep 18, 2025, 6:28 PM
McKee (thumb) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: McKee was limited for the second day in a row as he continues to recover from a fractured right thumb. If McKee can't go in Week 3, Sam Howell would operate as the top backup option behind Jalen Hurts at quarterback against the Rams. |
|
Will Shipley Will Shipley Back at practice
Thu, Sep 18, 2025, 6:24 PM
Shipley (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Shipley was unable to practice Wednesday due to an oblique injury, so his return to action Thursday is a positive sign. The running back will look to log a full practice Friday before the team faces the Rams on Sunday. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Stays limited at practice
Thu, Sep 18, 2025, 4:46 PM
Goedert (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Goedert has strung together back-to-back capped sessions since sitting out this past Sunday's win at Kansas City due to a knee sprain. He thus will have one more opportunity to practice in full Friday before the Eagles potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Rams. With Goedert absent Week 2, fellow TE Grant Calcaterra earned an 88 percent snap share but was targeted just twice, while Kylen Granson played 57 percent of the snaps and saw one target. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Limited again Wednesday
Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 6:24 PM
McKee (thumb) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: McKee was limited in practice last week but was inactive as the Eagles' QB3 behind Jalen Hurts and Sam Howell in last Sunday's win over the Chiefs. Once healthy, McKee has a chance to usurp Howell for QB2 duties. |

Will Shipley Will Shipley DNP on Wednesday
Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 6:23 PM
Shipley (oblique) did not practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Shipley was injured in the Week 1 opener against the Cowboys 13 days ago and has yet to return to practice. His role once healthy is unclear after the Eagles traded for Tank Bigsby last week. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Officially limited Wednesday
Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 5:35 PM
Goedert (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Goedert got back on the practice field for the first time since spraining his knee during a Week 1 win against the Cowboys. Speaking about the injury, Goedert told Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com on Wednesday that he sustained it on a third-down catch early in the second half when he took a hit to the outside of his knee. Goedert will have two more chances this week to increase his activity level before the Eagles potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game versus the Rams. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Returning to practice
Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 2:14 PM
Goedert (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Goedert missed Sunday's win over the Chiefs, 10 days after suffering a knee sprain in the Eagles' regular-season opener. Now nearly two weeks removed from the injury, Goedert apparently is making a bid to play this Sunday against the Rams |

Kylen Granson Kylen Granson Second straight game with one catch
Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 8:53 PM
Granson pulled in his lone target for five yards in Sunday's victory over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Granson was elevated from No. 3 to No. 2 tight end in the absence of Dallas Goedert (knee), which saw his offensive snap count jump from 17 to 33. He still finished with just a single catch, though, so it would likely take injuries to both Goedert and Calcaterra (who also caught just one pass Sunday) forGranson to have a shot at fantasy relevance. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Held to one catch as top tight end
Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 8:29 PM
Calcaterra was elevated to the Eagles' No. 1 tight end Sunday against the Chiefs due to Dallas Goedert's knee injury but finished with just one catch for six yards.
Analysis: Calcaterra outsnapped fellow tight end Kyle Granson 53-34, leaving little doubt that he remains Goedert's top deputy. Goedert has missed an average of five games per season since 2022, so that role should continue to lead to a handful of starts for Calcaterra, but those starts won't necessarily lead to many targets. He was targeted just twice in Week 2. |
|
Jahan Dotson Jahan Dotson Just one catch in Week 2
Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 8:13 PM
Dotson was held to one catch for four yards in Sunday's win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Dotson was the Eagles' leading receiver in Week 1, catching three passes for 59 yards, but his Week 2 performance is probably more in line with what can be expected going forward. Outside of a Week 18 game in which the Eagles rested their starters, Dotson averaged less than a catch per game last year, and with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith still ahead of him on the depth chart, that's unlikely to change. |

Tank Bigsby Tank Bigsby No offensive snaps in Eagles debut
Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 7:53 PM
Bigsby did not see the field for any offensive snaps in his Eagles debut Sunday against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Acquired from the Jaguars for a fifth- and sixth-round draft pick at the start of the week, Bigsby was not yet part of the Eagles' offensive gameplan. His only snaps came on special teams. He'll compete with Will Shipley (ribs) and AJ Dillon for the backup role behind Saquon Barkley once he's more integrated with his new team. |
|
A.J. Dillon A.J. Dillon Small role as Barkley's backup
Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 7:44 PM
Dillon was elevated to the No. 2 running back for Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to Will Shipley's rib injury but carried the ball just three times for 19 yards.
Analysis: Dillon had at least 178 carries for three straight seasons with the Packers before missing 2024 with a neck injury, but his role in Philadelphia seems destined to be much smaller. He played just eight offensive snaps in the season opener and just nine in Week 2, carrying the ball just three times in each game. It would take an injury to Saquon Barkley for his role to significantly expand. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Leads team with 53 yards Sunday
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 10:19 PM
Smith corralled four of six targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Smith finished as the Eagles' leading receiver in a game where the team threw for just 101 yards. It was a marked improvement from the veteran starter following last Thursday's three-catch, 16-yard stinker in a win over the Cowboys. Expect Smith and the entire Philadelphia passing attack to be more involved next Sunday lining up opposite the Rams' high-powered passing attack. |
|
A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Gets more involved in Week 2
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 8:26 PM
Brown finished with five receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: This was certainly an improvement over last week's one-catch showing, but the end result was still poor from a fantasy perspective. DeVonta Smith (4-53-0) finished as the leading receiver with Brown leading the team in targets (eight) and receptions (five). Philadelphia's run-heavy offense to kick off the 2025 season is the main culprit for the entire receiving corps posting paltry totals through two games. Perhaps Brown and the rest of the Eagles' aerial attack will finally take off in what could be a high-scoring affair against the Rams next Sunday. |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts Rushing score masks low production
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 7:09 PM
Hurts completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 101 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while rushing nine times for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Hurts managed to outduel Patrick Mahomes for the second time this calendar year in a Week 2 rematch of Super Bowl LIX. The 26-year-old Hurts has yet to throw a touchdown pass (or interception) through two starts in 2025, but his team has come out victorious on both occasions. Fantasy managers who drafted the dual-threat QB for his legs have been forced to rely almost exclusively on that part of his game for production early in the schedule. Hurts' rushing totals through two games (23-77-3) resemble that of an RB1 in fantasy, highlighting what an advantage it is to have a mobile QB. The Eagles may call on Hurts to air it out more against the high-powered Rams when the NFC contenders face off next Sunday. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Efficient RB1 performance Sunday
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 6:49 PM
Barkley ran the ball 22 times for 88 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Barkley set the tone on offense for Philadelphia by scoring the game's first touchdown in a rematch of Super Bowl LIX. The 28-year-old superstar went on to average 4.0 yards per tote while leading his club in yards from scrimmage (94). The recent trade for RB Tank Bigsby didn't affect Barkley's workload, as the only other rusher to record any carries was veteran backup AJ Dillon (3-19-0). Barkley will look to extend a modest two-game scoring streak to open the season when the Eagles host the Rams next Sunday. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Emergency QB for Week 2
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 2:08 PM
McKee (thumb) is inactive but will serve as the Eagles' emergency third-string quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: McKee is still recovering from a fractured right thumb that he suffered during training camp. He will be the Eagles' third-string quarterback for Sunday's Super Bowl LIX rematch, which means he'll only see the field if both Jalen Hurts and Sam Howell were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. |
|
Cameron Latu Cameron Latu Elevated ahead of Sunday
Sat, Sep 13, 2025, 3:42 PM
Latu was elevated from the Eagles' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: The 25-year-old failed to make the Eagles' initial 53-man roster at the end of August, but he remained with their practice squad and is now in line to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Chiefs. Latu's signing provides Philadelphia with extra depth at tight end in Week 2 with Dallas Goedert (knee) set to miss the Super Bowl IX rematch. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Listed as questionable
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 3:29 PM
McKee (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: McKee got in a limited practice Friday, giving him a chance to back up Jalen Hurts versus Kansas City. If McKee is unable to suit up, Sam Howell will once again handle QB2 duties for the Eagles. |
|
Will Shipley Will Shipley Sitting out in Week 2
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 2:59 PM
Shipley (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Kansas City, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Shipley wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week due to the oblique injury that forced him out just before halftime of last Thursday's win against the Cowboys. With an absence now on tap for Shipley, AJ Dillon and Tank Bigsby will be the options to spell top RB Saquon Barkley this weekend, while Audric Estime is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad. |
