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. |

Elijah Moore Elijah Moore Returns to practice Monday
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 4:33 PM
Moore (neck) suited up for Monday's training camp practice, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Moore sustained a neck injury during Wednesday's joint practice against the Patriots, which prevented him from playing in Saturday's preseason contest against New England. His return to on-field action Monday is a positive sign in his recovery and puts the 2021 second-rounder on track to play against the Bengals in Friday's preseason finale. Moore is competing against Darius Cooper, Britain Covey (hamstring) and Quez Watkins for a depth spot on the Eagles' 53-man roster for the regular season. |

Dameon Pierce Dameon Pierce Back at practice Monday
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 4:15 PM
Pierce (hamstring) participated in Monday's training camp practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Pierce has been held out of practice the last two weeks after picking up a hamstring injury. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to on-field work, putting him on track to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Bengals. Pierce, Will Shipley and Carson Steele are battling for a depth spot in the Eagles' backfield, with Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby currently listed as the top running backs on the depth chart. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Makes positive impression in joint practices
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 1:09 PM
Wicks stood out with his route running during the Eagles' joint practices with the Patriots last Wednesday and Thursday, Cayden Steele of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Though he was generally impressive in both practices, Wicks turned in one highlight-reel-worthy rep during Thursday's session, when he easily shook one-on-one coverage from New England cornerback Carlton Davis at the line of scrimmage for what would have been a big gain, per Henry McKenna of FoxSports.com. Acquired from the Packers in April and immediately signed to a one-year, $12.5 million extension, Wicks has been repping with the first-team offense for most of his first camp with the Eagles while No. 1 wideout DeVonta Smith and rookie first-round pick Malachi Lemon have been slowed by hamstring injuries. Both Smith and Lemon are practicing again, but the time Lemon has missed along with his own strong performance could set the stage for Wicks to head into the regular season as the Eagles' No. 2 wideout. |

Eli Stowers Eli Stowers Dealing with hamstring issue
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 12:00 PM
Stowers (hamstring) won't practice Monday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: Per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Stowers appeared to get banged up during Saturday's preseason game against the Patriots. The tight end thus falls into the day-to-day category as Friday's preseason finale against the Bengals approaches. Once healthy, the 2026 second-rounder is poised to work behind top TE Dallas Goedert, a role that may not initially involve steady volume for the rookie, but one that could grow in the event that Goedert misses any time this season. |

Makai Lemon Makai Lemon Practices in full Monday
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 12:00 PM
Lemon (hamstring) was a full participant in Monday's practice, EJ Smith of The PHLY Sports reports.
Analysis: The rookie has been hampered by a hamstring issue for much of camp but is starting to get on track as the season approaches. Lemon practiced in limited fashion last week and has upgraded to full participation as of Monday. The rookie still has to play catch-up a bit with the lost time during camp, but a fully healthy remainder of the offseason will put Lemon in a good spot come Week 1. |
