INJURY UPDATE: EAGLES ACTIVATE TIGHT END FROM PUP LIST

By Victor Williams

August 3, 2022

 

One of the Eagles’ tight ends is making a return to practice.

The team announced Wednesday that TE Richard Rodgers has been activated from the active/Physically Unable to Perform list.

 

Rodgers has spent the last four seasons with the Eagles, appearing in 25 games. His most productive year in Philly came in 2020 when he caught 24 passes for 345 yards and two TDs.

With Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra in front of him, securing a roster spot will be an uphill battle for Dick Rod.

TE Tyree Jackson and OT Brett Toth remain on the PUP List. Players return to NovaCare tomorrow for practice at 9 A.M.

Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has a groin injury that will keep him out of practice on Thursday and is considered day to day.

Although the injury might not be considered serious, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Smith had suffered "a little bit of wear and tear" and that the team was "being cautious" with him. Sirianni couldn't say when or how Smith's injury occurred.

Durability was a concern for the spindly Smith when he entered the NFL, but he played all 17 games last season and hardly missed any significant snaps in setting the franchise's rookie receiving record with 916 yards in 2021.

Other Eagles injuries include offensive tackles Andre Dillard and Jordan Mailata, who both were dealing with concussions and missed Thursday's practice, and WR Greg Ward, who was out with a toe.
