Tanner McKee - Expected to suit up Sunday McKee (ribs) "is expected to serve as the backup quarterback" Sunday against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact McKee is listed as questionable for Week 9 due to what the report notes is "a cracked rib sustained on the first drive" in Week 8, but it appears he is feeling good enough to suit up. Joe Milton is set to start for the Eagles, so even if McKee is in uniform as anticipated, McKee will open the contest in a reserve role.

Elijah Mitchell - Bumps up from practice squad The Eagles elevated Mitchell from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact This marks Mitchell's third elevation of the campaign, meaning Philadelphia will need to sign him to the active roster after Week 9 if there's an expectation that he'll remain the team's No. 2 RB behind Saquon Barkley. With Barkley not operating at 100 percent last Sunday at Washington, Mitchell handled 57 percent of the snaps to the former's 32 percent, but Barkley's 14 touches went for 54 yards from scrimmage and one TD, while Mitchell produced just 37 total yards on 15 touches. The breakdown of work may skew more in Barkley's direction this week considering he entered the weekend without a designation for Sunday's matchup, but Mitchell figures to remains involved out of the Eagles backfield.

49ers, Broncos trade rumors make Eagles perfect match for deadline deal The 49ers and Broncos are looking for a tight end and the Eagles might have what they need.

Jonathan Jones - Won't suit up for Week 9 Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Jones remains sidelined due to a hamstring injury he suffered in the Eagles' Week 8 loss to the Commanders. It is unclear if the cornerback's issue is significant enough to land him a spot on injured reserve.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Michael Carter II - Won't play Sunday Carter (abdomen) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Carter will miss Sunday's game due to an abdominal injury he sustained in the Eagles' Week 8 loss to the Commanders. Carter was unable to practice throughout Week 9 prep due to the issue and will leave reserve free safety Kenny Moore to back up both Marcus Epps and Andrew Mukuba in Sunday's contest.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jihaad Campbell - Won't play vs. Giants Campbell (hamstring) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

Impact Campbell sat out practice again Friday, and he'll now be sidelined for his second straight contest due to a lingering hamstring injury. In his stead, 2024 fifth-rounder Jeremiah Trotter projects to get another start at linebacker next to Zack Baun in Week 9.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Britain Covey - Will sit out vs. Giants Covey (knee) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

Impact Covey was again unable to practice during the week because of the knee injury he suffered back in Week 7 versus the Cowboys, and he'll miss his second straight game in Week 9. In his absence, 2025 fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue and 2024 second-rounder Cooper DeJean will likely continue to see increased opportunities in the return game.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Tanner McKee - Questionable with rib issue McKee (ribs) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

Impact McKee lost the Eagles' starting quarterback job to 2024 sixth-rounder Joe Milton after Week 8, and now it's up in the air whether McKee will be available at all in Week 9. If he can't suit up, rookie fifth-rounder Cole Payton would figure to slot in as Milton's primary backup Sunday.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jake Elliott - Will play Sunday Elliott (ankle) does not carry an official injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Giants.

Impact Elliott was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle issue, but he managed a full practice Friday and is in line to suit up Sunday. The Eagles have been arguably the most ineffective offense in the league so far in 2026, and there's not much reason to believe they'll turn things around in Week 9 against a solid Giants defense, leaving Elliott as an unappealing fantasy option.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Darius Cooper - Set up for another start Cooper and Makai Lemon are positioned to start again Sunday against the Giants, with fellow wideouts DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) ruled out for a third st...

Impact Cooper made some big plays earlier this season but hasn't done much with his more recent opportunity, catching just three of nine targets for 36 yards over the past two weeks while playing 94 percent of snaps on offense. He's been targeted on just 13 percent of his routes this year, though that rate could improve some with strong-armed Joe Milton replacing Tanner McKee as the starting QB this week.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Makai Lemon - Set for featured role again Lemon and Darius Cooper profile as the top wide receivers for QB Joe Milton's first start in an Eagles uniform Sunday against the Giants, per PhiladelphiaEagles.com.

Impact DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) both are out for a third straight game. Lemon led the team in targets the past two weeks, putting up receiving lines of 7-67-1 and 6-57-0 against the Cowboys and Commanders, respectively. He'll likely be a focal point of the passing game again, though Milton may be more inclined to look downfield toward Cooper or Hollywod Brown in situations where Tanner McKee would throw a shorter pass to Lemon or a TE/RB.

Eagles receive Saquon Barkley boost ahead of Giants game The Philadelphia Eagles receive an encouraging Saquon Barkley update as they prepare for their Week 9 showdown with the New York Giants.

4 DAYS AGO • THEBIGLEAD.COM

DeVonta Smith - Won't play Sunday Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Smith thus will sit out for the fifth time in six games due to a hamstring injury. Fellow WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) also won't play Sunday, leaving Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore to man the Eagles' receiving corps. Smith's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Nov. 22 versus the Steelers.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Dontayvion Wicks - Ruled out for Sunday's game Wicks (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact After sitting out practice Friday, Wicks will miss a third straight game for Philadelphia. He'll now have the Week 10 bye to try and get right coming out of the break. The Eagles will continue to roll with Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper as theirs Nos. 1 and 2 receivers against New York this week.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Saquon Barkley - Clear for Week 9 action Barkley (hamstring/back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact After sitting out Wednesday's session due to lingering hamstring and back injuries, Barkley ended Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough to get the call clear ahead of Sunday. He gutted out a 32 percent snap share this past Sunday in Washington en route to 14 touches for 54 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD while splitting the backfield with Elijah Mitchell (15 touches for 37 total yards).

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

DeVonta Smith - Not present at Friday's practice Smith (hamstring) was not seen at Friday's practice, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact With Smith now absent from practice again Friday, he's unlikely to play Sunday against the Giants, leaving Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper and Hollywood Brown as the top wide receivers for QB Joe Milton's first start in an Eagles uniform. Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also absent from practice Friday and figures to join Smith on the gameday inactive list yet again.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Dontayvion Wicks - Still sidelined Friday Wicks (ankle) is not practicing Friday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Impact Wicks hasn't practiced at all this week and looks extremely unlikely to play Sunday against the Giants. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also injured, the Eagles will likely keep rolling with Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper as their every-down wideouts.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Saquon Barkley - Practicing again Friday Barkley (hamstring/back) is practicing again Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact After logging a limited practice Thursday, Barkley was back on the field again Friday as he continues to manage hamstring and back issues ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. His official participation level and final injury designation will provide the clearest read on his availability.

Jake Elliott - Limited again Thursday Elliott (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Elliott was limited for a second consecutive practice. There should be more clarity on his status Friday for the Week 9 meeting with the Giants. However, if Elliott is ruled out ahead of that one, the Eagles will presumably hit the open market for a replacement.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Tanner McKee - Pops up on injury report McKee (rib) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Impact McKee recently lost the starting quarterback job to Joe Milton. As if things couldn't get any worse, the signal-caller appears to be in danger of missing the NFC East showdown with the Giants. If McKee can't suit up for that contest, 2026 fifth-round pick Cole Payton would presumably back up Milton against New York in Week 9.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Dontayvion Wicks - Officially DNP on Thursday Wicks (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Wicks appears headed for a third straight absence Sunday against the Giants. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also continues to miss practice time. It could again be Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore at receiver for the Eagles.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

DeVonta Smith - Misses Thursday's practice Smith (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Smith has yet to mix into any drills since his last appearance in Week 6 against the Panthers, missing the last two contests due to a hamstring issue. With a Week 10 bye on the horizon, the Eagles may be focusing on getting him healthy for the final eight weeks of the campaign. In any case, Smith's status for Sunday's contest against the Giants may gain some clarity once the team posts its final Week 9 injury report Friday.
