The Philadelphia Eagles have made adjustments to their roster ahead of their upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Khari Blasingame, a fullback, has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's matchup. Blasingame joined the Eagles on December 3 after linebacker Ben VanSumeren suffered a season-ending injury. Previously, Blasingame participated in the team's Week 14 victory over the Panthers, contributing with 15 snaps on special teams and one on offense.

Additionally, rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson has been downgraded to questionable due to an illness. Initially added to the injury report on Friday without a game status designation, Wilson's condition was updated on Saturday. The wide receiver stands out for his size at 6-foot-6 and 228 pounds and has recorded two catches for 14 yards and one touchdown this season.

The Eagles will also be missing Britain Covey, who is sidelined with a neck injury. Covey and Wilson are currently the only players listed with game status designations for Sunday’s game; all other players are available to play.
