PHI Outside Linebacker #3

Eagles placed OLB Nolan Smith on injured reserve.

Smith reportedly re-injured the triceps muscle that he tore during Super Bowl LIX. He underwent surgery to repair the torn tissue this offseason. The Eagles believe Smith will not require surgery and hope to have him back “around” their Week 9 bye. Players placed on injured reserve are eligible to return after missing four games. The Eagles also placed CB Jakorian Bennett and WR Darius Cooper on injured reserve with undisclosed injuries. Both players are likewise expected to avoid surgery and are expected to return around Week 9. The Eagles signed S Marcus Epps, TE Cameron Latu, and CB Parry Nickerson to the active roster, and LB Lance Dixon, DB Eli Ricks, and WR Quez Watkins to the practice squad.
Quez Watkins

FA Wide Receiver #16

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports the Eagles are hosting free agent WR Quez Watkins for a workout on Monday.

Watkins was a sixth-round pick of the Eagles back in 2020 and caught 98 passes for 1,249 yards and six touchdowns during his four-year tenure with the team. He hasn’t played a regular season snap since 2023 and has also bounced around between the Steelers and Cardinals over the last two years. If signed, Watkins wouldn’t be any more than added depth to a receiver room that is currently five players deep. In addition to Watkins, the Eagles also hosted WR K.J. Osborn and DE Isaiah Foskey for workouts.

Steelers released WR Quez Watkins

It’s a bit of a surprise given the Steelers’ lack of depth at wide receiver, but that’s perhaps an indictment on Watkins’ ability to stick on an NFL roster. The 26-year-old has attracted attention for his speed after the Eagles drafted him in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, but he’s totaled 98 catches for 1,249 yards and six touchdowns in 49 career games. He may need to sign to a practice squad to start 2024. The Steelers also waived/released LB Kyron Johnson, LB Luquay Washington, LB Jacoby Windmon, LB Marcus Haynes, DB Zyon Gilbert, DB Thomas Graham, DL Willington Previlon, DL Jacob Slade, OL TyKeem Doss, OL Joey Fisher, QB John Rhys Plumlee, RB Aaron Shampklin, RB Jack Colletto, RB La’Mical Perine, RB Jonathan Ward, TE Matt Sokol, TE Rodney Williams, WR Jaray Jenkins, WR Duece Watts and WR Dez Fitzpatrick.
Quez Watkins

PIT Wide Receiver #16

Steelers signed WR Quez Watkins, formerly of the Eagles, to a one-year contract.

Watkins is a speedy receiver who was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth-round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He’s totaled 98-1,249-6 in 49 career games, and won’t be much more than a depth signing at this stage in his career. He’s coming off a career-low 15-142-1 in nine games last season.
Quez Watkins

PHI Wide Receiver #16

Quez Watkins caught 8-of-11 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles’ Week 18 loss to the Giants.

With A.J. Brown going down and the Eagles playing catch up, Watkins made the most of his opportunities. He scored the Eagles’ only touchdown on a pass from Marcus Mariota. Depending on the severity of Brown’s injury, Watkins could be depended more upon moving forward into the playoffs.
Quez Watkins

PHI Wide Receiver #16

The Eagles activated Quez Watkins (hamstring) from injured reserve.

Watkins has been sidelined with the hamstring issue for most of the season and was placed on injured reserve after Week 5. Now healthy, he should reclaim the WR3 role in Philly. Even with Dallas Goedert out, it’s unlikely he or anyone else does much in that role with A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith dominating the targets.
Quez Watkins

PHI Wide Receiver #16

Eagles WR Quez Watkins (hamstring) is questionable for Week 12 against the Bills.

Julio Jones was removed from the injury report. Watkins is on injured reserve but had his practice window opened earlier this week. Even with Dallas Goedert out, we don’t recommend looking down the Eagles’ depth chart at receiver for viable fantasy options.
Quez Watkins

PHI Wide Receiver #16

The Eagles designated Quez Watkins (hamstring) to return from injured reserve.

Watkins suffered the hamstring injury in Week 2, re-aggravated it in Week 5, and was placed on injured reserve a few days later. With Dallas Goedert currently sidelined, there could be room in the offense for a third receiver to emerge as a long-shot fantasy option. Watkins will likely reclaim his starting role once healthy, but he still has a 21-day window to be officially activated from injured reserve. He is worth keeping an eye on, but for now, fantasy managers can avoid anyone outside of A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith in the Philly passing attack.
Quez Watkins

PHI Wide Receiver #16

Eagles placed WR Quez Watkins (hamstring) on injured reserve.

Linebacker Nakobe Dean was activated from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Olamide Zaccheaus will serve as the Eagles’ third receiver for the foreseeable future. He is not worth an add in even the deepest of fantasy leagues.
Quez Watkins

PHI Wide Receiver #16

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Quez Watkins (hamstring) will not play in Week 6 against the Jets.

Watkins suffered a hamstring in Week 2. He returned from the issue last week but seemingly re-aggravated it and will now miss another game. Rapoport added, “We’ll see about his long-term prospects.” Watkins’ injury is still being evaluated, but it sounds like he will miss more than Week 6. Olamide Zaccheaus will draw the start as Philly’s third receiver.

Colts signed P Thomas Morstead to the practice squad.

Morstead spent 12 years punting for the Saints before making stops with the Jets, Falcons, Dolphins, and 49ers over the last five seasons. The 40-year-old veteran averaged 43.6 yards per punt for San Francisco last year. Current Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez was injured during a blocked punt in the Colts’ Week 6 loss to the Titans. Morstead joins the Colts’ practice squad as insurance in case Sanchez cannot play Week 7 against the Vikings.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Terrance Ferguson (ankle) “will take some time” to come off injured reserve.

Ferguson is eligible to come off injured reserve next week, but Schefter reports that a source told him Ferguson’s recovery “will take some time.” The Rams placed Davante Adams on injured reserve this week and are in desperate need of pass-catching help behind Puka Nacua. Ferguson is a rising receiving tight end for the Rams, but has been on injured reserve since suffering an ankle injury in Week 3. Though he is a good IR stash for fantasy purposes, Ferguson is going to take longer than the minimum four weeks to return. Without a good timeline for return, he can be released from fantasy rosters in dire need of more immediate help during bye weeks.

Patriots CB Carlton Davis (neck) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.

It was an upgrade from an estimated Monday DNP. Davis has missed Week 2, Week 3, Week 5 and Week 6 to the neck listing so far. Perhaps he’ll try to give it a go on Thursday night, but we’d be surprised if he did better than a questionable tag on Wednesday.

TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) practiced in full on Tuesday.

It’s been a stunningly quick recovery from what looked to be a high-ankle sprain that could sideline him. Henderson has practiced in full both days this week. We’re not concerned that he won’t play, but after fumble problems struck last week and Corey Kiner closed out the Jets in the fourth quarter, we do have slightly lowered expectations for his Thursday night stat line.

A.J. Brown (ankle) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.

Brown spoke with the media today and there’s no reason to believe he’ll actually miss this game, but he was regarded as “limited” in both sessions this week and it’s fair to wonder if he’s 100 percent just yet after his drop-filled, rough Week 6. He’s best-treated as a WR2 this week — you’re still probably starting him regardless of what the ranking is.

Jackson left Sunday’s game with the injury, playing 64.9 percent of the snaps with Luke Newman spelling him. This is a good sign for his availability for Week 7 after Jackson did not practice on Monday, but he’s likely trending towards a questionable tag without a full listing on Wednesday.

Jordan Schultz reports teams seeking wideout help believe Hollywood Brown could be traded in the coming weeks.

Brown had two rushes for 12 yards against the Titans in Week 2 (not receptions) and has been inactive in every other week of the season. So, yeah, we guess he could be had. As could any of the several veteran receivers on losing teams who actually have caught a pass this year.

Eagles signed RB Eljiah Mitchell to their practice squad.

This time, they mean it. Mitchell has a decent chance to be elevated for Week 7 based on what we know today, which is that the Eagles waived Ian Wheeler from the practice squad and have only Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce on the active roster. This appears to be quite a fluid situation.
