Eli Stowers - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Officially limited Wednesday Stowers (quadriceps) was a limited participant at the Eagles' practice Wednesday.

Impact Stowers officially made his return to practice Wednesday as continues to recover from a quadriceps injury that has sidelined him for the first five weeks of the 2026 campaign. The tight end was previously also dealing with a hamstring issue, but he appears to have moved past that injury. Stowers will have two more chances to log a full practice before potentially making his NFL regular-season debut against the Panthers on Sunday.

Back at practice Wednesday The Eagles opened the 21-day practice window for Stowers (quadriceps/hamstring) on Wednesday.

Impact Stowers has yet to play this season while tending to multiple injuries. While he still has some hurdles to clear, it appears he has a shot to suit up in Week 6 versus Carolina or Week 7 against Dallas.

Moves to injured reserve The Eagles placed Stowers (quadriceps/hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Stowers has been dealing with a hamstring injury since at least Aug. 24, which limited him in all three Week 1 practices before the Eagles tabbed him as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Commanders. At the same time the team placed him on IR, he was ruled out with not only the hamstring issue but a quad concern. The rookie second-round pick thus will miss at least the first four games of the campaign, allowing Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins to handle the TE reps that don't go to No. 1 option Dallas Goedert.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Status in question for Week 1 Stowers (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.

Impact Stowers is about two-and-a-half weeks removed from picking up a hamstring injury, but his ability to log three straight limited sessions this week has put him in position to make his pro debut Sunday. Ultimately, his status will become known, one way or another, about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited session Stowers (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact Stowers emerged from preseason Week 2 with a hamstring injury, which sidelined him until this Wednesday. So far during Week 1 prep, the rookie second-round pick has logged back-to-back capped sessions, but even if he's cleared of his health concern ahead of the Eagles' season opener against the Commanders this Sunday, there's a chance he's a healthy scratch, as Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reported on Aug. 26. In such a scenario, Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins would be the available tight ends behind starter Dallas Goedert.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to open Week 1 prep Stowers (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact The rookie second-rounder has been working through a hamstring injury since the tail end of training camp, which prevented him from playing in the Eagles' preseason finale against the Bengals on Aug. 28. Stowers will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Commanders. The Vanderbilt product figures to operate in a depth role at tight end this season behind Dallas Goedert, with Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins also in the mix for snaps on offense.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Could be healthy scratch on Sundays Stowers (hamstring) may not be active on gamedays even if he returns to health before the start of the regular season, according to Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.

Impact The second-round pick reportedly had a quiet training camp even before his recent absences with a hamstring injury. He's caught three of five targets for 12 yards in two preseason appearances, and it looks like he may now open his career fourth on the depth chart. The Eagles also have veterans Johnny Mundt and Grant Calcaterra (back) competing for snaps behind veteran starter Dallas Goedert. Any hope for Stowers having Year 1 fantasy value entails Goedert missing time, though it sounds like that alone might not do the trick with Mundt and Calcaterra also in the mix to provide superior blocking and experience.

Dealing with hamstring issue Stowers (hamstring) won't practice Monday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

Impact Per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Stowers appeared to get banged up during Saturday's preseason game against the Patriots. The tight end thus falls into the day-to-day category as Friday's preseason finale against the Bengals approaches. Once healthy, the 2026 second-rounder is poised to work behind top TE Dallas Goedert, a role that may not initially involve steady volume for the rookie, but one that could grow in the event that Goedert misses any time this season.

Blanked on two targets Stowers failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Eagles' 24-21 preseason loss to the Patriots on Saturday.

Impact Stowers was on the field with the starting offense and saw his first target from Andy Dalton on third down during the Eagles' opening possession. The rookie second-round pick was blanked on the night Saturday, but he made three receptions in the exhibition opener against the Ravens and remains second on the unofficial tight-end depth chart behind Dallas Goedert heading into the preseason finale at home against the Bengals on Friday night.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Three catches in preseason loss Stowers brought in all three targets for 12 yards in the Eagles' 24-7 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

Impact The rookie second-round pick took advantage of all three opportunities he saw, leading to a solid professional debut. Stowers is currently listed as the No. 2 tight end on the Eagles' first unofficial depth chart, and Saturday's performance seemingly did nothing to hurt that standing.

Returns healthy for camp Stowers (lower body) is practicing at the first week of training camp, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The rookie second-round pick missed a few spring practices with an unspecified lower body injury. Now healthy, Stowers will have the next few weeks to make his case for a role in Philadelphia's offense. Dallas Goedert returns as the starter and has a long track record of handling huge snap shares.
