Philadelphia Eagles news, rumors and injuriesEagles | Rory Anderson works out Tue, 27 Sep 2016 19:50:05 -0700 Free-agent TE Rory Anderson worked out with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, Sept. 27. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Philadelphia makes two roster moves Tue, 27 Sep 2016 12:45:03 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles OG Darrell Greene was signed to the practice squad Tuesday, Sept. 27. CB JaCorey Shepherd was subsequently released. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Ryan Mathews will join rotation upon return Mon, 26 Sep 2016 09:40:29 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles RB Ryan Mathews (ankle) will remain the starter, but head coach Doug Pederson said the team will continue to rotate backs even when Mathews is healthy. Fantasy Tip: The backfield was already trending toward the committee anyway, as Mathews has only touched the ball 12 times since logging 22 carries in the season opener. Darren Sproles should be considered the best option for Philly whenever the Eagles face a stout run defense, while Mathews is shaping up to be a touchdown-dependent flex option. Rookie Wendell Smallwood and Kenjon Barner will also be involved, likely making this a backfield to avoid going forward. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Ryan Mathews absent down stretch Sun, 25 Sep 2016 22:13:15 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles RB Ryan Mathews (ankle) carried just twice for minus-5 yards in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Doug Pederson did not have information on Mathews' status after the game, but said he would have an update Monday, Sept. 26. Mathews has been dealing with an apparent ankle injury, but he has not missed time despite having an ankle heavily taped. Fantasy Tip: Mathews was non-existent, while Wendell Smallwood, Kenjon Barner and Darren Sproles all had solid performances. Fantasy owners will want to watch practice closely this week before deciding on Mathews for Week 4. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Philly's Week 3 Inactives Sun, 25 Sep 2016 12:27:26 -0700 The Philadelphia Eagles have declared WR Bryce Treggs, OT Dillon Gordon, OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai, OG Isaac Seumalo, OG Josh Andrews, CB Leodis McKelvin, TE Zach Ertz inactive for Week 3. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Bigger role ahead for DGB? Sat, 24 Sep 2016 11:34:46 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles WR Dorial Green-Beckham is a candidate to see his role expanded, according to head coach Doug Pederson. "He's coming along really well. We're giving him a little bit more each week. He's understanding things a little bit better and processing the information better. Again, this is something as we go forward we'd love to obviously get him a little more involved from a standpoint of getting more targets thrown in his direction," Pederson said. Fantasy Tip: Green-Beckham only has four catches (on six targets) for 32 yards through two games, but owners need to keep in mind he has only been with Philadelphia for a little over a month. DGB flashed toward the end of his rookie season last year with the Tennessee Titans and his talent is such that he could emerge as the No. 1 receiver with the Eagles if the mental part of his game catches up with the physical part. He is certainly worth a stash in deeper leagues. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Zach Ertz to return in Week 5 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 07:52:54 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles TE Zach Ertz (rib) will return to action Oct. 9, during Week 5's game against the Detroit Lions, according to head coach Doug Pederson. He has already been ruled out for Week 3's game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers and the club has a bye in Week 4. Fantasy Tip: Brent Celek and Trey Burton will once again split time at tight end for the Eagles against Pittsburgh, with Burton possessing more upside and worth considering as a low-cost option in daily fantasy contests. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Leodis McKelvin to return in Week 5 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 07:47:34 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles CB Leodis McKelvin (hamstring) will return to action Oct. 9, during Week 5's game against the Detroit Lions, according to head coach Doug Pederson. He has already been ruled out for Week 3's game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers and the club has a bye in Week 4. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Isaac Seumalo won't play in Week 3 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 07:43:52 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles OG Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) has been ruled out for Week 3's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to head coach Doug Pederson. He has not practiced all week. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Mychal Kendricks expected to play Sat, 24 Sep 2016 07:37:34 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles LB Mychal Kendricks (nose, quadriceps) is expected to play in Week 3's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers after being a full participant in practice Friday, Sept. 23. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Carson Wentz faring well against the blitz Fri, 23 Sep 2016 11:29:19 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz has completed 80 percent (12-of-15) of his passes against the blitz this season, which leads the NFL. Fantasy Tip: This is one reason Wentz has looked so polished in the early going of his rookie campaign. Overall, the 2016 No. 2 overall draft pick has thrown for 468 yards while completing 60.6 percent (43-of-71) of his passes, with three touchdowns compared to zero interceptions. Considering the weapons he has at his disposal, he just may have potential in becoming a legit QB1 by year's end. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Philadelphia's Friday injury report Fri, 23 Sep 2016 11:17:22 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles TE Zach Ertz (rib), CB Leodis McKelvin (hamstring) and OL Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) were absent during practice Friday, September 23.

Comment () | Share: Eagles | Zach Ertz out for Week 3 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 07:32:04 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles TE Zach Ertz (rib) has been ruled out for Week 3. Fantasy Tip: Trey Burton had a solid game with a 5-49-1 line last week. He's worth consideration if you need an injury fill-in against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
