Philadelphia Eagles

Q: Eagles looking at bringing in any tight ends? Obviously Eric Ebron makes sense there.

After losing Dallas Goedert to injured reserve, it would make some sense for the Philadelphia Eagles to go shopping for a veteran replacement to steady the ship and make up for his 544 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns of production.

However, after speaking with team and league sources, it appears the Eagles are content to elevate Jack Stoll into the starting role and are optimistic that Tyree Jackson can contribute meaningful snaps after being activated from the PUP list.

Stoll has caught 4 passes for 49 yards in five appearances through 10 weeks this season, and according to Pro Football Focus, is averaging 5.8 yards after the catch per reception.

Jackson, meanwhile, is an intriguing option added to quarterback Jalen Hurts’ arsenal.

A 25-year-old former quarterback, Jackson stands 6-foot-7 and 249 pounds, and is exactly the kind of big-bodied target with reliable hands the Eagles could use as a complementary weapon to receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Jackson is returning from a torn ACL suffered in the 2021 season finale against the Dallas Cowboys.

I hope Stoll can step up and Jackson can be what they hope. There's a huge hole on this offense right now and they need to find a way to plug it for a few weeks. I guess we will see tonight but if things don't go to plan I wouldn't be surprised to see Howie back out there looking at the options.
