Marcus Epps - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Full practice Thursday Epps (groin) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact Epps was held out of Weeks 4 and 5 due to a groin injury, but with a full practice under his belt, he's poised to regain his standing as the Eagles' starting strong safety Sunday against the Panthers. Prior to the recent absence, he tallied 14 tackles in the first three games of the campaign.

Jalen Hurts sidelined by a blood clot, the latest bad news in a rough season for the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled out quarterback Jalen Hurts for Sunday's game against Carolina because of a superficial blood clot

5 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Limited to open week Epps (groin) was a limited participant at the Eagles' practice Wednesday.

Impact Epps has been forced to miss the team's last two contests while nursing a groin injury, but his return to practice Wednesday is a positive turn of events. The safety will have two more opportunities to log a full practice ahead of Sunday's game against Carolina.

Ruled out vs. Jacksonville Epps (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Epps will miss a second consecutive game due to a groin injury. His next chance to play is Week 6 against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 18, though he would need to practice in at least a limited capacity to have a realistic shot at returning against Carolina. Michael Carter should once again start next to Andrew Mukuba at safety in Epps' absence.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from practice Wednesday Epps (groin) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Epps didn't play in Sunday's loss to the Rams. If that trend continues in Week 5 versus Jacksonville, Michael Carter should remain in line to see an uptick in defensive snaps.

SEPTEMBER 27 • SI.COM

Past shoulder issue Epps returned to Sunday's win over the Commanders after missing most of the first quarter with a shoulder injury, E.J. Smith of allphly.com reports.

Impact The safety played 50 defensive snaps and five more on special teams, recording seven tackles (five solo). Epps should be good to continue in his starting role next Sunday against the Titans.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return with shoulder issue Epps (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Epps exited the first quarter of Sunday's divisional contest. If the starter cannot return to the contest, Michael Carter will likely take over at strong safety for the remainder of the game.

Signs with Philly The Eagles re-signed Epps to a one-year contract Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact After the Eagles traded away safety Sydney Brown on Friday, the team signed both Epps and J.T. Gray to replenish the depth chart. Epps appeared in 12 regular-season games last season, making four starts, and logged 21 tackles (18 solo) across 250 defensive snaps and another 199 on special teams.

Tallies 21 tackles with Philly Epps recorded 21 tackles (18 solo) while playing 12 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign.

Impact Epps joined the Eagles after playing just three games for the Raiders in 2024. He played almost exclusively on special teams over the first eight weeks and then missed four games on IR with a shoulder injury, but the 30-year-old finished the season in a starting role after rookie Andrew Makuba went down with an ankle issue. Epps has played 15 regular-season games over the past two seasons, and he is set to become a free agent this offseason.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Clears concussion protocol Epps (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card round matchup with the 49ers.

Impact Epps logged consecutive full practices to end the week and has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol. The free safety has avoided an injury designation just in time to start in Sunday's playoff clash. The 29-year-old is set to reclaim his starting role from fellow safety Sydney Brown, who will likely see fewer defensive snaps in Sunday's contest.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Epps (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Epps was limited in practice Wednesday, so while it remains uncertain whether he's yet officially cleared the concussion protocol he's certainly trending in the right direction in his recovery. The starting safety will look to attain full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, and suit up for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the 49ers.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Limited with concussion Epps (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Epps was unable to play in last Sunday's loss to the Commanders due to a concussion he sustained in last week's practice. The free safety's upgrade to limited practice participation means he is already advancing through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and could be available for Sunday's playoff game against the 49ers. The 29-year-old veteran has two more opportunities to upgrade his practice participation and be cleared of any concussion symptoms by one of the league's independent neurologists.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out with concussion Epps (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Epps was a new addition to Friday's injury report with a concussion he likely suffered in Thursday or Friday's practice session. Michael Carter or Sydney Brown will likely start at free safety in Epps' absence. With the starter's concussion occurring so late in the week, the 29-year-old is in danger of missing the Eagles' first playoff game as well, so defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will likely be watching Carter and Brown's Sunday performances closely.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up as starter Epps is warming up as a starting safety alongside Reed Blankenship prior to Monday's game against the Chargers, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Impact Epps was activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Chargers and looks likely to step into a significant role immediately. He has played almost exclusively on special teams in his previous eight games this season, but Andrew Mukuba's (ankle) injury has created an opportunity at safety.
