The Eagles announced several roster changes ahead of tonight's game against the Atlanta Falcons. The team has signed offensive lineman Nick Gates to the active roster. Gates, a seventh-year veteran, was initially signed during Training Camp and placed on the practice squad following the preseason. He brings experience in starting at four of the five offensive line positions.
Additionally, outside linebacker Patrick Johnson has been waived. Johnson made headlines during the Ravens preseason game when his strip-sack in the final minute enabled Jake Elliott to kick the game-winning field goal.
Wide receiver Parris Campbell and tight end E.J. Jenkins have been elevated for tonight's game. Campbell, a sixth-year veteran, will be active due to A.J. Brown being out with a hamstring injury and Johnny Wilson listed as questionable with a similar issue. Jenkins, who made his NFL debut last week as a practice squad elevation, played three snaps on offense.
The gameday inactives will be announced at 6:45 PM, 90 minutes before kickoff.
