    Eagles declared WR DeVonta Smith, LB Jihaad Campbell, WR Dontayvion Wicks, CB Jonathan Jones, OL Jake Majors , and WR Britain Covey inactive for Week 8 against the Commanders.

    The Eagles continue to trudge on without key contributors as they enter Week 8 down their top two wide receivers and starting quarterback. Running back Saquon Barkley is active after being removed from the injury report Friday, with Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue on hand for change of pace duties. Covey’s absence is primarily a hit to the Philadelphia special teams unit, who will continue to require alternate contributions to kick returns.

    He has not practiced since Week 6. It’s hard to count on Smith to be up for Week 9, though we obviously can’t say anything beyond him being questionable. The Eagles have a Week 10 bye and it might be preferable for them at this point if Smith sat through that — though that is just our speculation.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    Assuming there’s not a non-media practice portion that adds him to the report, Smith will enter Friday as fairly unlikely to play. We’ll see if he can get on the practice field on Friday. A limited session might get him on to the questionable line. Smith last practiced ahead of Week 6.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    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 Hollywood Brown get a boost from the WR group while TE Dallas Goedert becomes the No. 1 pass-catcher in the Eagles offense.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    The Eagles will be without their top two receivers but got good news Saturday with the removal of Dallas Goedert from the injury report. Saquon Barkley is listed as questionable and appears to be a true game-time decision. Considering the low involvement of the backfield in the pass game this season, Goedert stands to benefit the most from the absences at wide receiver. He can be started as an upside TE1 in a solid on-paper matchup against the Cowboys.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    Like Thursday, Smith was sidelined for Friday’s practice. The Eagles have been managing his practice reps and pulled him out for multiple drives in their Week 6 loss to the Panthers. The Eagles face the Cowboys on Monday night, giving Smith an extra day to rest. Consider him highly questionable to play at this time. McLane adds that Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) could also sit out this week.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    The Eagles held Smith out for multiple drives in Week 6 against the Panthers, in his first game back from a multi-week hamstring injury. He was also dealing with a toe issue. The latter injury is now behind him, and we suspect that his day off today is just a veteran maintenance day. He should be good to go for the Eagles’ Week 7 game against the Cowboys on Monday night.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    Smith was easily the focal point of the passing attack after coming back from injury. He saw the most targets of anybody on the team by six, but many of them were not catchable. However, Tanner McKee kept taking shots down the field, and he made a beautiful pass to Smith in the end zone for a touchdown. The game itself might not be pretty when McKee is under center, but it seems like Smith is going to see the volume to continue producing solid fantasy value. He’s a low-end WR2 in a good matchup against the Cowboys next week.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    Smith sat out on Wednesday, but practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday before upgrading to full on Friday. Smith told media members earlier today that he is “good,” and that the toe injury is not an issue. Jalen Hurts (blood clot) is out indefinitely, so Smith will be working with pocket-passing backup Tanner McKee. The Panthers are currently without both of their starting perimeter cornerbacks. It might be a bit uncomfortable, but Smith is a WR2 in Week 6.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo said he is “still hearing optimism he’ll play Sunday. We’ll see.” Given his follow-up comment, it doesn’t seem like he shares the organization’s optimism. If active, Smith would be catching passes thrown by backup Tanner McKee. Jalen Hurts is sidelined indefinitely by a blood clot. McKee, a pocket passer, could lock onto Smith, keeping him in the WR2 tier if active.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    Smith was already reported to be working off to the side on Wednesday, but he now adds a toe injury to his existing hamstring injury on the official practice report. Given he is not practicing yet and a new injury is added to his designation, Smith is currently trending in the wrong direction for Week 6 against the Panthers.

    Jakobi Meyers (hamstring/ankle) was listed as limited on Monday’s estimated practice report.

    The veteran receiver played through both ailments in Week 8 but was limited to only 54 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in a blowout win. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status in the coming days, with the expectation that he continues to play through the injuries against the Ravens on Thursday Night Football.

    Chris Rodriguez (hand) was limited on Monday’s estimated practice report.

    This appears to be a non-issue as the veteran change of pace back should be fine for Thursday Night Football against the Ravens. Of greater concern was the absence of lead back Bayshul Tuten, something fantasy managers of both players will want to monitor as Thursday draw nearer. Rodriguez would seemingly be in line for a featured role if Tuten is unable to play on a short week.

    Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) was listed as a “DNP” on Monday’s estimated practice report.

    Tuten briefly left the team’s Week 8 win in the first quarter but returned to amass 159 total yards and two touchdowns against the overmatched Colts. Fantasy managers will want to track his status closely as the team makes a quick turn to face the Ravens on Thursday Night Football.

    Justice Hill (groin) was listed as limited on Monday’s estimated practice report.

    The fact he was listed as limited and not a “DNP” likely signals a more modest injury and we would expect Hill to suit up when the Ravens take on the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football in Week 9. Either way, fantasy managers likely have better options at the position.

    Mark Andrews (hand) was listed as a full participant on Monday’s estimated injury report.

    That keeps the veteran tight end on track to suit up in Week 9 against the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football. Andrews has struggled to return usable fantasy weeks throughout his age-31 season, with the team now down to their third, potentially fourth, quarterback for Thursday’s game. he can safely be left on fantasy benches on the short week.

    Zach Charbonnet (knee) and Jadarian Price (chest) are active for Week 8 against the Bears.

    Charbonnet makes his season debut after a suffering a torn ACL late in the 2025 season while Price returns from short-term injure reserve due to a chest injury. Emmanuel Wilson and George Holani had held down the backfield in the absence of the two top backs, leaving an uncertain situation regarding expected backfield utilization when the Seahawks take on the Bears in a marquee matchup. Inactive for the Seahawks are QB Drew Lock, LB Uchenna Nwosu, WR Rashid Shaheed, RB Velus Jones Jr., OT Charles Cross, G Beau Stephens, and NT Brandon Pili.

    Bears declared RB Kyle Monangai, QB Case Keenum, DB Malik Muhammad, OL Jordan McFadden, DL Jayden Loving, and OL Jordan van den Berg inactive for Week 8 against the Seahawks.

    No real surprises here after Monangai was ruled out for Week 8 on Saturday, leaving D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson to handle backfield duties in a difficult matchup against the Seahawks. The two had operated in a loosely split backfield before Week 7, during which Swift saw workhorse usage in a tight game against the Patriots. It would appear likely that Swift will once again see the bulk of the work considering the opponent, making him a surefire RB2 with RB1 upside to cap the Week 8 festivities.

    Jesse Minter said the team is considering injured reserve for Tyler Loop (undisclosed).

    Loop suffered an undisclosed injury in the Week 8 loss to the Bills, something that is reportedly serious enough to warrant injured reserve consideration. When asked if Jake Moody would be kicking on Thursday Night Football against the Jaguars, Minter replied with a simple, “At this point, yes.” The Ravens were dealt numerous injury issues in their loss to the Bills as they lost both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, with third string rookie Joe Fagnano also emerging dinged up after taking numerous hard sacks.

    Jesse Minter said Joe Fagnano (ankle) is “dealing with some things physically” but has a chance to start in Week 9.

    Whelp, that isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement for the rookie quarterback’s chances of starting under center for the Ravens when they host the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 9. The team lost both Lamar Jackson to a season-ending thumb injury and backup Tyler Huntley to a turf toe injury in their Week 8 loss to the Bills, now in desperate need of a viable quarterback option as they fight for their playoff lives. It is possible the team addresses the position through trade with just over a week until the trade deadline, although that is unlikely to help them on a short week. More to come in what quickly became a dire situation in Baltimore. Fagnano was officially listed as limited on the team’s estimated practice report Monday.

    Jim Harbaugh said the team will open the 21-day practice window for David Njoku this week.

    Njoku has been on the shelf since being placed on injured reserve ahead of Week 3, with the potential to return following five missed games plus the team’s Week 7 bye. The team will have 21 days to activate him from short-term injured reserve, meaning Njoku is not guaranteed to be activated in time for Week 9 against the Texans. Fantasy managers that have held Njoku through his time on injured reserve can continue patiently waiting for his return while those in shallower leagues can consider adding him from waivers before he is activated.
