His tackle total improved by five compared to the previous season, though he did see his interceptions drop from four to one.

Good to go for Black Friday Blankenship is clear of injury designation ahead of Friday's matchup against the Eagles.

Impact Blankenship sustained a thigh injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cowboys, but two limited practices earlier in the week, capped off with a full practice Thursday, were enough to stave off injury designation heading into Friday's game. The starting safety's health will be a critical part of the Eagles' defense going into a primetime matchup.

Limited in Wednesday's practice Blankenship (thigh) was a limited participant in Philadelphia's practice Wednesday.

Impact Blankenship sustained a thigh injury during the Week 12 loss versus Dallas and has now been limited in two straight practice sessions. While the 26-year-old will look to be good to go for Friday's game versus the Bears, Michael Carter should get the start at safety if Blankenship ends up being unable to play.

Limited to open week Blankenship (thigh) was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday's estimated report.

Impact Blankenship suffered a thigh injury during the third quarter of Sunday's overtime loss to the Cowboys, and he was unable to return to that contest. Per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio indicated Tuesday that he expects Blankenship to be available for Friday's game against the Bears, and the latter's ability to open the week with a limited practice session indicates that the injury isn't considered a serious one. Blankenship will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Friday's contest.

Bears vs. Eagles Injury Report Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio expects safety Reed Blankenship to play on Black Friday against the Bears.

Expected to play Week 13 Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday that he expects Blankenship (thigh) to play Friday against the Bears, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Blankenship was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Cowboys and was walking with a pretty significant limp following his exit, but it sounds like he avoided a major injury. With Andrew Mukuba suffering a fractured ankle in the same game, getting Blankenship back for Week 13 will be huge for the back end of the Philly defense.
