Philly Leader

The Eagles are back at Lincoln Financial Field following a two-game road trip. Wide receiver DeVonta Smith will rejoin the lineup after missing two games due to a hamstring injury. Darius "Big Play" Slay is also active, having recovered from a concussion that kept him out of last week's game against Baltimore.

In roster moves, the Eagles signed tight end E.J. Jenkins to the active roster on Saturday, filling in for Dallas Goedert who was placed on Injured Reserve. Jenkins will be part of a trio of tight ends alongside Grant Calcaterra and C.J. Uzomah for today's game. Fullback Khari Blasingame has been elevated and will make his debut with the Eagles.

With safety Reed Blankenship sidelined by a concussion and Sydney Brown out with a knee injury, rookie Andre Sam has been elevated for the first time this season and is set to make his NFL debut. Punt returner and wide receiver Britain Covey was ruled out on Friday due to a neck injury, leaving Cooper DeJean as the likely punt returner in Covey's absence.

The full list of inactives for the Eagles includes Reed Blankenship (S), Sydney Brown (S), Britain Covey (WR), Nick Gates (OL), Trevor Keegan (G), Darian Kinnard (T/G), and Tanner McKee (3rd QB).
