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. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Ruled out for Week 2
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 2:57 PM
Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Kansas City, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Goedert handled a 92 percent route share and a team-high seven targets in last Thursday's 24-20 win over Dallas, but a knee sprain has kept him out of practice ever since, leaving the Eagles with Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson as their top tight ends. Goedert is a reasonable lineup option for fantasy whenever he's healthy, but we're already seeing why he wasn't necessarily drafted as a starter this summer. If he doesn't return for Week 3, this will be Goedert's sixth consecutive season with multiple missed games. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Not looking good for Sunday
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 11:51 AM
Goedert (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Goedert handled a 92 percent route share and a team-high seven targets in last Thursday's win over Dallas, but a knee sprain has kept him out of practice ever since, making the tight end unlikely to play this Sunday at Kansas City. With Goedert trending in the wrong direction, Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson figure to get most of the snaps at tight end. No. 3 WR Jahan Dotson also could add more playing time relative to Week 1, after the Eagles used multi-TE formations on around half of their snaps in the opener. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Misses Thursday's practice
Thu, Sep 11, 2025, 5:24 PM
McKee (thumb) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: McKee continues to be sidelined due to a fractured right thumb that he suffered during training camp. He's missed the first two practices of the week and is unlikely to be cleared for the Eagles' Week 2 clash against the Chiefs on Sunday. Sam Howell will continue to serve as Jalen Hurts' backup for as long as McKee is out of action. |

Will Shipley Will Shipley No practice Thursday
Thu, Sep 11, 2025, 4:35 PM
Shipley (oblique) didn't take part in practice Thursday.
Analysis: Per Zach Berman of The Athletic, Shipley was present during the media-access portion of the session, but he was held out of all drills for a second day in a row due to the oblique injury that knocked him out of last Thursday's win versus the Cowboys. Another absence Friday may spur the Eagles to rule Shipley out for Week 2 action, but a listing of questionable or doubtful would keep the door ajar for active status Sunday at Kansas City. Behind No. 1 RB Saquon Barkley, AJ Dillon and recent acquisition Tank Bigsby are the backfield options on Philadelphia's active roster, while Audric Estime resides on the practice squad. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Remains sidelined at practice
Thu, Sep 11, 2025, 1:28 PM
Goedert (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: Goedert received the most attention from QB Jalen Hurts last Thursday against the Cowboys, turning his seven targets into seven catches for 44 yards on an 82 percent snap share. That's more or less what he handles on a weekly basis, at least in terms of playing time, but he suffered a knee sprain along the way, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia. With no practice to speak so far during Week 2 prep, Goedert has just one more chance for on-field work Friday before the Eagles potentially make a call on his status for Sunday's visit to the Chiefs. Philadelphia currently has TEs Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson on the active roster, while E.J. Jenkins and Cameron Latu are on the practice squad. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Remains sidelined from practice
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 5:16 PM
McKee (right thumb) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: McKee hasn't practiced since he was diagnosed with a fractured thumb on his right throwing hand on Aug. 24. Until he does so, he'll likely continue to yield backup QB duties to Sam Howell behind starter Jalen Hurts. Nonetheless, McKee will have two more chances this week to put himself in a position to return to action Sunday in Kansas City. |

Will Shipley Will Shipley Tending to oblique issue
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 5:12 PM
Shipley was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to an oblique injury.
Analysis: When Shipley exited last Thursday's win against the Cowboys, the Eagles deemed him questionable to return due to a rib injury, which has been reclassified on the team's first Week 2 practice report. He was acting as Saquon Barkley's primary backup before his departure, but Philadelphia traded for Tank Bigsby on Monday to give it another option aside from AJ Dillon out of the backfield if Shipley isn't able to suit up Sunday in Kansas City. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Doesn't practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 5:07 PM
Goedert (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Per Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia, Goedert is dealing with a knee sprain in the wake of the Eagles' season-opening win against the Cowboys, leaving his status uncertain for Sunday's showdown on the road with the Chiefs. The injury isn't believed to be a long-term concern, but the Eagles clearly are exercising caution with their No. 1 TE. Goedert will have two more chances to mix into drills this week before Philadelphia potentially makes a ruling on his status for Week 2. Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson are the current healthy options at the position on the active roster. |

Will Shipley Will Shipley Not practicing
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 2:26 PM
Shipley (ribs) isn't practicing Wednesday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Shipley took three carries for 26 yards in the first half of last Thursday's win over Dallas, but he was injured on a kickoff late in the second quarter and didn't play after halftime. The Eagles then traded for RB Tank Bigsby on Monday, giving up fifth- and sixth-round picks in 2026, which is seemingly enough compensation to put Shipley on the hot seat even if he returns from his injury soon (far from guaranteed). AJ Dillon filled in as the No. 2 RB after halftime last Thursday, taking three carries for 10 yards while occasionally spelling Saquon Barkley, who finished the night with 79 percent snap share and 22 touches. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Dealing with knee sprain
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 2:21 PM
Goedert is not participating in the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media due to a knee sprain, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Goedert's official practice status will be revealed alongside Wednesday's injury report, but it appears to starting tight end will be listed as either limited or a non-participant. Grant Calcaterra will be the Eagles' next man up at tight end in the event that Goedert is unable to gain clearance in time for Sunday's road matchup against the Chiefs. |

Tank Bigsby Tank Bigsby Sent to Philadelphia
Mon, Sep 8, 2025, 6:57 PM
The Jaguars traded Bigsby to the Eagles on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Bigsby took a back seat to Travis Etienne in Week 1, getting outsnapped 40-14 (out of 66 on offense) and outtouched 19-5. All of Bigsby's touches were carries for a measly 12 yards, while Etienne ripped off 156 yards from scrimmage. With this move to Philadelphia, Bigsby may be able to join the RB mix right away after backup Will Shipley suffered a rib injury last Thursday against the Cowboys, but this is still Saquon Barkley's backfield, and veteran AJ Dillon also is on hand. More than likely, Bigsby's immediate impact will occur on kick returns. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Blanked in Week 1 win
Fri, Sep 5, 2025, 1:21 PM
Calcaterra wasn't targeted in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Jalen Hurts peppered starting tight end Dallas Goedert with a team-high seven targets, but there was no action left over in the passing game for Calcaterra and Kylen Granson. On the bright side, Calcaterra was on the field for 59 percent of Philadelphia's offensive snaps, behind Goedert's 83 percent but well ahead of Granson's 27 percent. It would likely take an injury to Goedert for Calcaterra to gain any fantasy relevance in 2025. |

John Metchie John Metchie One snap on offense in Eagles debut
Fri, Sep 5, 2025, 1:17 PM
Metchie wasn't targeted and had a 20-yard kickoff return in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Metchie played just one snap on offense while Jahan Dotson led the team with 59 receiving yards, suggesting that Dotson has a firm grasp on the third spot on the wide receiver depth chart over the trade acquisition from Houston. Metchie got a chance to contribute in the return game on special teams in the second half after kick returner Will Shipley (ribs) exited in the first half. |

A.J. Dillon A.J. Dillon Three carries after Shipley injury
Fri, Sep 5, 2025, 11:45 AM
Dillon rushed three times for 10 yards and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Dillon didn't register a touch until the second half. He opened the game as the No. 3 running back behind Saquon Barkley and Will Shipley, but Shipley left the game due to a rib injury late in the first half, allowing Dillon to climb a rung on the depth chart. Dillon could hold on to a change-of-pace role against the Chiefs in Week 2 if Shipley doesn't play, but Barkley should continue to get the vast majority of touches among Philadelphia's running backs regardless. |

Jahan Dotson Jahan Dotson Leading receiver in Week 1 win
Fri, Sep 5, 2025, 11:41 AM
Dotson caught all three of his targets for 59 yards in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Most of Dotson's production came on a 51-yard catch in the second quarter, which was enough to make him the team's leading receiver in the Eagles' run-heavy Week 1 win. DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown combined for just 24 yards on four targets. Those two likely will be more involved moving forward at Dotson's expense, but at least Dotson seems to have a firm grasp on the third spot on the wide receiver depth chart over trade acquisition John Metchie, who wasn't targeted Thursday. |

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. |
