Eagles Inactive Players for Sunday Night Football vs. the Miami Dolphins
S Reed Blankenship: Unfortunately, Blankenship won’t be able to play for the second time this season due to a rib injury he sustained last week.
LB Patrick Johnson: This is the first time this season that Johnson will be inactive. Usually a key player on special teams, his absence will be noticed.
QB Tanner McKee (3rd QB): McKee is a rookie who will serve as the team’s emergency quarterback. He can only be called upon if Jalen Hurts and Marcus Mariota get injured.
DT Moro Ojomo: Despite playing in the last two games, Ojomo will sit this one out as the defensive line is now healthy again.
TE Albert Okwuegbunam: With three tight ends active, Okwuegbunam will not dress for this game.
RB Rashaad Penny: Once again, Penny will be inactive for this game.
CB Bradley Roby: Unfortunately, the newly acquired Roby won’t be able to play due to a shoulder injury.
The only players out with injuries for the Eagles are Reed Blankenship (ribs) and Bradley Roby (shoulder).
Good news for the team, Sydney Brown (hamstring), Jalen Carter (ankle), Darius Slay (knee), and Marlon Tuipulotu (triceps) are all active after missing last week’s game with injuries.
Lane Johnson (ankle), Eli Ricks (knee), and Milton Williams (ankle) are also active. They left last week’s game against the Jets but were full participants at practice on Friday.
Dallas Goedert (groin) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were limited at Friday’s practice, but they have no game status designations and are expected to play.
Exciting updates for the team! Yesterday, cornerback Mekhi Garner and wide receiver Julio Jones were elevated from the practice squad. Garner will make his second straight appearance, while Jones, a 13-year veteran, will make his highly anticipated Philadelphia debut after signing earlier in the week. – Written by Owen Boyle
