INJURIES

Inks futures deal with Indy The Colts signed Okwuegbunam to a reserve/futures contract Monday.
Impact Okwuegbunam joined Indianapolis' practice squad mid-December, and he'll now get a chance to continue his development with the team during the offseason. Prior to landing with the Colts, Okwuegbunam had suited up for four regular-season games with the Eagles, in which span he failed to secure his only target.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Joins Colts' practice squad Indianapolis signed Okwuegbunam to its practice squad Tuesday.
Impact Okwuegbunam worked out with the Colts shortly after being cut by Philadelphia back in November, and now he's officially working with a new organization. Indianapolis already has four healthy tight ends on its 53-man roster though, so it will probably take at least one injury for him to get any action with the main unit.
DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Gets workout in Los Angeles The Chargers worked out Okwuegbunam on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Okwuegbunam has been busy, working out with the Colts on Tuesday before having a workout with the Chargers on Friday. The Missouri product's most recent in-game action came in 2023 with the Eagles, where he appeared in four contests and failing to haul in his lone target across 55 offensive snaps. Okwuegbunam could find work with the Chargers' practice squad if Friday's tryout goes well.
NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Reverts to practice squad Okwuegbunam reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Okwuegbunam suited up for the Eagles' Week 11 win over the Commanders on Thursday night, playing just one offensive snap and failing to record a stat. He could rejoin Philadelphia's active roster as soon as Week 12's matchup against the Rams, as the Eagles are currently carrying just two tight ends: Grant Calcaterra and Dallas Goedert.
NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Let go by Philadelphia The Eagles released Okwuegbunam (abdomen) on Tuesday.
Impact Okwuegbunam began the regular season on injured reserve after undergoing a core muscle repair procedure at the conclusion of training camp. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 16, and he was close to being activated off IR as he was able to log full practices leading up to Week 9 against the Jaguars. The 2020 fourth-round pick could stick around in Philadelphia on the practice squad or look to catch on with another team in need of depth at tight end.
NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Staying on IR Okwuegbunam (abdomen) has not been activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Okwuegbunam started the regular season on injured reserve after undergoing a core muscle repair procedure at the end of training camp. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Oct. 16, and while he doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game, he will be sidelined for that contest. Okwuegbunam will need to be activated off IR leading up to Week 10 against the Cowboys, otherwise he'll be forced to sit for the entire 2024 regular season, per Anthony DiBona of Philly Sports Network.
NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
On cusp of return Okwuegbunam (abdomen) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.
Impact Okwuegbunam logged three full practices this week as he closes in on the end of his 21-day practice window, which expires on Nov. 6. The tight end needs to be activated from injured reserve by that date or he'll remain sidelined for the remainder of the season. Considering his participation level this week, he has a good shot of making his 2024 debut against Jacksonville in Week 9.
NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Logs full practice Wednesday Okwuegbunam (abdomen) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session.
Impact Okwuegbunam started the regular season on injured reserve after undergoing a core muscle repair procedure. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 16, and despite logging full practices since then, he has not been activated from IR. If Okwuegbunam is able to practice in full over the next two days, he'll give himself a good chance of making his regular-season debut against the Jaguars on Sunday.
OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not activated for Week 8 The Eagles did not activate Okwuegbunam (abdomen) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact Okwuegbunam has been on IR all season while recovering from the core-muscle surgery he underwent in August, but he looks to be back to 100 percent after turning in a trio of full practices in both of the past two weeks. He didn't carry a designation into Sunday's contest, but the Eagles won't look to open up a spot on the 53-man roster for him just yet, even with top tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) set to miss a second straight game. Okwuegbunam's 21-day evaluation window will come to a close Nov. 6, so the Eagles will have to activate him by then, or else he won't be eligible to play this season.
OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Ready for Week 8? Okwuegbunam (abdomen) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
Impact Despite Okwuegbunam having no injury designation, he must still be activated to the Eagles' active roster in order to suit up Sunday. With Dallas Goedert (hamstring) missing his second consecutive game in Week 8, Okwuegbunam could have the opportunity to see increased snaps with Philadelphia's first-team offense.
OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not activated for Week 7 Okwuegbunam (abdomen) was not activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact Okwuegbunam had his 21-day practice window opened earlier this week on Wednesday, but he's not yet ready to return to game action. He'll miss a sixth straight game to open the 2024 campaign, and it's notable with Dallas Goedert (hamstring) ruled out for Week 7. Grant Calcaterra is expected to handle pass-catching duties at tight end for the Eagles against the Giants, while Jack Stoll likely focuses on the blocking responsibilities.
OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Logs another full practice Friday Okwuegbunam (abdomen) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Impact Okwuegbunam has now logged three consecutive full practice sessions after being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. The 26-year-old tight end still must be activated to the Eagles' active roster in order to suit up Sunday. If Okwuegbunam is able to make his 2024 debut in Week 7, he could see increased offensive work with Dallas Goedert (hamstring) sidelined.
OCTOBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Practices in full Thursday Okwuegbunam (abdomen) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Okwuegbunam began the regular season on injured reserve due to an abdomen injury he sustained during training camp. That's caused him to miss the first five games of the year, but the 2020 fourth-round pick returned to practice Wednesday, and he has been a full participant in both practices. Barring any setbacks, Okwuegbunam should be activated off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's NFC East showdown against the Giants.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Designated to return Okwuegbunam (abdomen) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Okwuegbunam has yet to appear in a game for the Eagles this season after sustaining an abdomen injury in mid-August that landed him on IR. However, the opening of his practice window Wednesday indicates that the 26-year-old is nearing a return to the field. The Eagles now have 21 days to activate Okwuegbunam to their active roster before he reverts to IR. Expect the second-year Eagle to serve as a depth piece in the team's tight end room once he's past his injury.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Undergoes surgery, placed on IR The Eagles placed Okwuegbunam (abdomen) on injured reserve Tuesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Okwuegbunam underwent a core muscle repair procedure, and he is projected to be out for six-to-eight weeks. With the Eagles scheduled to have their bye in Week 5, the 2020 fourth-round tight end could aim to return to action for Week 6 against the Browns on Oct. 13. McLane notes that Philadelphia has released E.J. Jenkins, meaning Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra are the only two active tight ends on the roster for the time being.

Undergoes surgery, placed on IR The Eagles placed Okwuegbunam (abdomen) on injured reserve and designated him to return Tuesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Okwuegbunam underwent a core muscle repair procedure, and he is projected to be out for 6-to-8 weeks. With the Eagles scheduled to have their bye in Week 5, the 2020 fourth-round tight end could aim to return to action for Week 6 against the Browns on Oct. 13. McLane notes that Philadelphia has released E.J. Jenkins, meaning Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra are the only two active tight ends on the roster for the time being.
AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Missing practice again Okwuegbunam (abdomen) did not participate at practice Saturday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Impact It was previously reported that Okwuegbunam's abdomen injury is not serious, but it's at least somewhat concerning that it's still keeping him off the field as the regular season approaches. Whether he gets a spot on the final 53-man roster may depend on how many tight ends Philadelphia's opts to keep on it.
AUGUST 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sits out of practice Okwuegbunam (abdomen) missed practice Sunday, Zach Berman of PHLY reports.
Impact The tight end dealt with a hamstring issue last season but this listing appears to be new. Okwuegbunam was also still out there for the session and appeared to just be "getting the day off," per Chris Franklin of NJ.com. The fifth-year pro is listed as the fourth tight end on Philadelphia's depth chart and did not catch a pass in his first season with the team last year.
AUGUST 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Eagles sign Albert Okwuegbunam to contract extension The tight end played in four games during his first season in Philadelphia.
FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM
Returning to Philadelphia Okwuegbunam (hamstring) signed a one-year deal with the Eagles on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact Okwuegbunam spent the 2023 season in Philadelphia, but he was regularly a healthy inactive. In total, he suited up for only five contests and was on the field for 55 offensive snaps and five special teams snaps. Owuegbunam could see a slight uptick in his role in 2024, but he is very unlikely to make an impact on the stat sheet.

Won't suit up versus Dallas Okwuegunam (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Cowboys.
Impact Okwuegunam played in the last four games as the backup tight end, but failed to catch a single pass over that span. Instead, Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra will handle the backup tight end duties behind Dallas Goedert.
