    The team will maintain control of three players that surprised in 2025, including “thiccer kicker” Harrison Mevis. The tendering of exclusive rights free agents ties the three to the franchise through the 2026 season considering they are unable to negotiate with other teams. At least for now, it appears as if the Rams will continue forward with Mevis as their place kicker.
  • LA Offensive Lineman #67
    “I felt like I fit in with their coaching and style of play,” said Dedich, who specifically cited the way he has meshed with HC Clay Helton and OL coach Neil Callaway during the recruiting process. The 6-foot-2, 280-pounder was one of the top performers at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge several weekends ago, with Rivals noting that he “passed with flying colors” when facing off with some of the better defensive line recruits in the Indianapolis camp. Dedich ranks as the outlet’s No. 2 center prospect in the 2018 class.
  • LA Offensive Lineman #67
    “Dedich, like the current Tar Heel, is tough and competitive and projects as an interior lineman in college with the ability to develop at center and be an early contributor,” Haubert writes. He notes that the 6-foot-2, 280-pounder “blends football smarts with a tough, physical style and has the potential to be an eventual anchor for USC’s O-line.” Of the Trojans’ seven commitments in the 2018 class thus far, six are members of the ESPN 300. That number would have been bolstered by former pledge Matt Corral, but he reopened his recruitment over the weekend.

    “The Five-Star Challenge was a big test for him because there were some outstanding defensive tackles there and he passed with flying colors,” relayed the outlet. They refer to Dedich as having “tremendous feet” and deem him to be “super powerful.” Just one slight demerit which could end up limiting his recruitment by degrees -- that of height. Rivals notes that if the 6-foot-2, 280-pounder was a few inches taller, he would be drawing even more interest than he currently is. Dedich ranks as the outlet’s No. 2 center prospect in the 2018 class.
  • LA Offensive Lineman #67
    “In shirts and shorts, in pads, whatever it was,” Huffman writes, “Dedich showed why he’s the premier offensive lineman in the West and the best center prospect since 2004 when Jeff Byers was the top-ranked prospect from the region.” ESPN’s Craig Haubert compares Dedich (6'2/280) to North Carolina C Tommy Hatton due to similar rugged, competitive natures on the field.

    Michael Wilson (ribs) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Wilson was on the practice field wearing a non-contact jersey on Wednesday. He is dealing with a rib injury, presumably suffered in the Cardinals’ Week 7 loss to the Broncos. He will be limited as long as he wears the non-contact jersey and ideally finishes the week without it in order to play in Week 8 against the Cowboys. Kendrick Bourne suddenly becomes the WR1 if Wilson cannot go.

    Tyler Allgeier (toe) did not practice Wednesday.

    Allgeier popped up on the injury report with a toe issue as rookie Jeremiyah Love (ankle) returned to practice in a limited fashion. Though we don’t know the severity of Allgeier’s injury, it may be worth keeping Bam Knight rostered despite Love’s return. If Allgeier cannot play in Week 8 against the Cowboys, Knight will get another week of fantasy viability.

    Jihaad Campbell (hamstring/quad) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Campbell came out of the Eagles’ Week 7 loss to the Cowboys dealing with hamstring and quad injuries. He starts out the week as an estimated DNP. Campbell will likely need to practice in some capacity in order to play Week 8 against the Commanders.

    DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Both Smith and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were estimated DNPs for the Eagles’ walkthrough. Both players missed Week 7 against the Cowboys and start off on the wrong side of questionable to open Week 8. Smith and Wicks will need to at least get a limited practice session in before they can be considered as potential fantasy options against the Commanders. With Britain Covey (knee) also DNP, the receiving corps is sparse. If neither can go, Darius Cooper and Hollywod Brown get a boost from the WR group while TE Dallas Goedert becomes the No. 1 pass-catcher in the Eagles offense.

    Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Barkley was predictably a non-participant after re-aggravating his hamstring injury and additionally injuring his back in Week 7 against the Cowboys. Despite the injuries, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Barkley said his hamstring “came out great” and he doesn’t believe his back will keep him out. With every other Eagles running back suffering long-term injuries, Barkley is attempting to gut out his injury issues. Given his re-aggravation last week, it is well within the range of outcomes for Barkley to see limited snaps in Week 8 against the Commanders. His motivation to play makes us think he is on track to be active on Sunday but Barkley is a risky RB2 as he deals with injuries.

    Javon Kinlaw (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

    Kinlaw is dealing with a knee issue. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday it will “likely be tough” for the 29-year-old defensive tackle to play Sunday. We can expect Kinlaw to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 8 against the Eagles.

    Stefon Diggs (hand/hamstring/rest) did not practice Wednesday.

    Commanders head coach Dan Quinn already said Diggs won’t practice Wednesday, so this is not a surprise. Quinn also confirmed the veteran will return to practice Thursday and the additional rest designation should stave off concerns of Diggs dealing with a long-term injury. He should be in the WR3/FLEX mix for Week 8 against the Eagles. Also not practicing for the Commanders was TE John Bates (shoulder).

    Treylon Burks (foot) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Burks was limited due to a foot injury; this is notable with the Commanders coming out of a bye week. With Terry McLaurin out for the season, Burks has the opportunity to earn an increased role in the receiving corps. Fantasy managers don’t need to roster the 26-year-old yet, but Dyami Brown and Antonio Williams could see a boost in targets if Burks sits out Week 8 against the Eagles.

    George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) was limited in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Pickens played through a minor shoulder injury last week, but the hamstring designation is new. He was still a limited practice participant, indicating neither injury should be an issue for his Week 8 status. Meanwhile, WR/KR KaVontae Turpin (ribs) was an estimated DNP in practice after not playing last week. The Cowboys may be missing Turpin again as a kick returner and gadget player on offense, but Pickens should still be the WR2 for Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Jalen Carter said he “probably won’t be 100-percent this year” due to a wrist injury.

    Carter has been dealing with a wrist injury since the beginning of the season, playing through it for the last seven weeks. He will continue to play through it, though the Eagles defensive tackle admits the wrist won’t be fully healed this season.
