Philly Leader

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lincoln Financial Field. The game, scheduled for 4:25 PM, will see the return of Eagles safeties Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown. Blankenship had been sidelined due to a concussion sustained against the Ravens, while Brown was recovering from a knee injury.

"It feels great to be back. Feels like I haven't played football in forever. The process of having a concussion is tough. Luckily mine was mild, but still had symptoms throughout last week. Towards the end of last week felt a lot better. Unfortunately, I had to watch it from home because I couldn't be around a bunch of noise. I just hated not being able to be out there with them," said Blankenship earlier in the week. "It's going to be tough against the Steelers, but we're ready for it and we're excited for the challenge."

However, wide receiver and punt returner Britain Covey will miss today's game due to a neck injury incurred during their match against Baltimore. Wide receiver Johnny Wilson, who was listed as questionable on Saturday due to illness, will play.

Fullback Khari Blasingame has been promoted from the practice squad for this matchup.

- Britain Covey | WR

- Nick Gates | OL

- Trevor Keegan | G

- Darian Kinnard | T/G

On the Steelers' side, wide receiver George Pickens remains out with a hamstring injury for his second consecutive game. Safety DeShon Elliott and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi are also unavailable due to injuries.
