Two targets in preseason loss Arcega-Whiteside didn't catch either of his two targets in Thursday's 27-11 preseason loss to the Bears.

Impact Arcega-Whiteside arrived in Seattle after a trade with the Eagles that sent defensive back Ugo Amadi -- whom the Seahawks were planning to cut anyway -- the other way. The 2019 second-round pick had only five days to pick up the playbook before Thursday's preseason clash, so his limited usage was to be expected. While Arcega-Whiteside attempted to convert to tight end in Philadelphia, he'll switch back to wide receiver with his new team. The preseason finale against the Cowboys will be key for his chances of making the team.

Impact The Eagles attempted to convert Arcega-Whiteside into a tight end after he caught just 16 passes for 210 yards and one touchdown over his first three seasons with the team. The 2019 second-round pick -- who stands 6-foot-2, 237 pounds -- also played more snaps on special teams (229) than on offense (161) last year, indicating just how far he had slid down the Eagles' wide receiver depth chart. Arcega-Whiteside will now have to prove himself against Seattle's fellow pass catchers Penny Hart, Aaron Fuller and Dareke Young if he wants to secure a roster spot this preseason and eventually turn around this abysmal start to his career.

Traded to Seattle for backup DB The Eagles traded Arcega-Whiteside to Seattle on Monday for defensive back Ugo Amadi, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's not a great sign for Arcega-Whiteside's NFL career that he was traded for a player who reportedly was about to get cut. The teams worked out a deal instead, and the 2019 second-round pick now can take his attempted WR-to-TE transition to Seattle.

Shifting to tight end Arcega-Whiteside is moving from wide receiver to tight end this offseason, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The 2019 second-round pick has struggled to find his footing as a pro, tallying only 16 receptions for 290 yards combined across three seasons. Given the lack of production, Arcega-Whiteside -- who is presumably past the finger injury he dealt with late last season -- was likely to be on the roster bubble heading into the 2022 campaign. While that could remain the case, Arcega-Whiteside may find a spot on the team as a depth option at tight end, particularly with Tyree Jackson attempting to return from a torn ACL.

Catches two passes in 2021 Arecega-Whiteside (finger) finished the 2021 campaign with two catches on five targets for 36 yards across 16 appearances.

Impact The 2019 second-round pick played double-digit offensive snaps just seven times, including a season-high 40 during the regular-season finale. He failed to haul in any of his three targets during the Week 18 loss to the Cowboys, and he apparently picked up a finger injury during the contest as well, which landed him on injured reserve. His lack of production through his first three NFL seasons may put him on the roster bubble heading into 2022.

Lands on injured reserve Arcega Whiteside was placed on injured reserve Monday and is scheduled to undergo finger surgery, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Arcega-Whiteside played 40 offensive snaps during Saturday's loss to the Cowboys and failed to catch any of his three targets. He'll be eligible to be activated for the Super Bowl but is unlikely to be ready to play that quickly given he'll be recovering from surgery. The 25-year-old caught two of five targets for 36 yards in 16 games during the 2021 campaign.

No touches against Jets Arcega-Whiteside played 14 offensive snaps in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Jets.

Impact Arcega-Whiteside had recorded a catch in each of the last two games, but he wasn't targeted in Sunday's Week 13 matchup. The 2019 second-rounder has had a minimal role in Philadelphia's offense this year and has hauled in both of his targets for 36 yards across the first 12 games of the season.

DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 14 snaps in loss Arcega-Whiteside played 14 snaps in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Giants, catching his lone target for 13 yards.

Impact Arcega-Whiteside was a distant fourth on the receiver depth chart in the game, although his snap count on offense has trended into double-digits in two straight weeks. With Jalen Reagor dropping key passes in the defeat and his star seemingly fading fast, the 2019 second-round pick may start to see more chances sooner rather than later.

Off injury report Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

Impact Arcega-Whiteside missed one game due to the ankle injury, but he will return to action in Week 10. The 2019 second-round wideout has played less than 10 offensive snaps in every game since Week 2 and hasn't caught a single pass all season.

Out Sunday Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) will miss the Eagles' Week 9 contest against the Chargers, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Arcega-Whiteside suffered an ankle injury in the Eagles' win over the Lions in Week 8. The receiver has been unable to practice at all since the injury. Expect Quez Watkins and Greg Ward to see important roles Sunday against the Chargers. Arcega-Whiteside's next chance to return to the field will be in Week 10 against the Broncos.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Thursday Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Arcega-Whiteside missed practice Wednesday as well after being injured in the Eagles' Week 8 win over the Lions. A missed Thursday session is usually a troublesome indicator with respect to potential gameday availability, and although Arcega-Whiteside has been a non-factor on offense, he would potentially enjoy a larger role in Week 9 if Jalen Reagor (ankle) were to sit out against the Chargers.
