The Philadelphia Eagles have announced several roster changes ahead of their upcoming game against the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field. Tight end Dallas Goedert has been activated from Injured Reserve after a week of full practice participation. Head Coach Nick Sirianni highlighted Goedert's importance to the team's passing game, stating, "He's had a good week. Good to get him back out there. He's a heck of a football player. We need him to accomplish the goals that we want to accomplish, and he's had a really good week."

Goedert is preparing for his sixth playoff run in seven seasons with the Eagles. Since becoming the primary tight end in 2021, he ranks sixth among NFL tight ends in receiving yards and third in yards per catch. During last year's Super Bowl run, he led the team with 141 postseason receiving yards.

Additionally, linebacker Dallas Gant and defensive end Charles Harris have been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game. This marks Gant's second consecutive elevation following his debut last week against the Cowboys. Gant was initially signed by the Vikings as an undrafted free agent before joining Philadelphia's practice squad in November.

Harris returned to the Eagles' practice squad recently after playing earlier this season with both Philadelphia and Carolina, where he recorded three sacks over nine games.
