Eagles Insider Exclusive: Reed Blankenship Reed Blankenship has had a rookie year to remember, from making the roster as an undrafted to free agent to starting in several games. He de...
Career-best effort in loss Blankenship recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Saturday's 40-34 loss to the Cowboys.
Impact With fellow safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) unavailable yet again this past weekend, Blankenship was able to log career highs in both snaps played (69) and stops (eight) Saturday in Dallas. However, now that Gardner-Johnson has been sidelined on injured reserve for each of Philadelphia's last four matchups, he'll be eligible to suit up versus New Orleans on New Year's Day following an elevation to the team's active roster, which would ultimately result in a possible deduction in usage for Blankenship.

Full participant Tuesday Blankenship (knee) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Impact Blankenship appears on track to return from a one-game absence following a knee sprain sustained in Week 14. Look for him to resume his role at free safety assuming he avoids any setbacks during the week.

Won't play Sunday Blankenship (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Bears.
Impact Blankenship suffered a low-grade knee sprain during the Eagles' blowout win over the Giants in Week 14, and while the initial diagnosis was seen as a positive, the starting safety will still be sidelined for at least one game. In his absence, K'Von Wallace will presumably take over as the team's top free safety.

Suffers knee sprain Blankenship sustained a low-grade knee sprain in Sunday's 48-22 win over the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact After Blankenship appeared to sustain a significant lower-leg injury in the win Sunday, the Eagles received positive news Monday when it was determined that the safety suffered a knee sprain, an injury that is only expected to sideline him for a short period of time. The 23-year-old is not expected to be a candidate for injured reserve, making it very likely he returns to the field before the conclusion of the regular season. In Blankenship's absence, K'Von Wallace could take over as the starting free safety for the time being.

Questionable to return Sunday Blankenship departed Sunday's game against the Giants with an apparent leg injury, Bo Wulf of The Athletic reports.
Impact With C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) already sidelined for Week 14, K'Von Wallace has replaced Blankenship at safety for the time being. It's unclear whether the 23-year-old will be able to return for the rest of the afternoon.

Grabs INT in SNF Blankenship recorded six tackles (three solo) and one interception during Sunday's 40-33 victory versus the Packers.
Impact Blankenship played a season-high 71 percent of Philadelphia's defensive snaps after being inserted for injury starter C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who sustained a lacerated kidney in the first quarter. The undrafted rookie then quickly notched the first interception of his career, as he undercut a pass intended for tight end Tyler Davis early in the second quarter. Blankenship also tied linebacker T.J. Edwards for a team high in tackles despite playing 14 fewer defensive snaps. With Johnson expected to miss at least one game with this injury, Blankenship will likely step into a starting role against Tennessee this coming Sunday, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
