Key Points:
- The Eagles placed left guard Landon Dickerson on Injured Reserve due to a bone bruise in his right knee, sidelining him for at least four games after struggling to play through the injury in Week 1.
- Drew Kendall, a second-year fifth-round pick and the top interior offensive line backup, is expected to start in Dickerson’s place against the Titans.
- Receiver and returner Britain Covey was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster after serving as the punt returner in Week 1, where he had 4 returns for 37 yards.
- To fill Covey’s practice squad spot, the Eagles signed tight end Josiah Deguara, a former third-round pick with experience under coach Matt LaFleur’s offensive system.
- The Eagles currently have one open spot remaining on their 53-man roster following these moves.
