The Eagles downgraded safety Anthony Harris (hands/groin) to out for today’s Raiders game, his first missed game since the final game of the 2019 regular season with Minnesota.
The Eagles elevated Elijah Riley from the practice squad to the active roster, and they have have Marcus Epps and Andre Chachere to team up with starter Rodney McLeod.
Head Coach Nick Sirianni said that tight end Dallas Goedert and tackle Lane Johnson will return to the lineup this today against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Goedert missed the Week 6 game against Tampa Bay after going on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. The Eagles activated Goedert on Thursday, but he did not participate in practice. Sirianni said on Friday that he looks “forward to Dallas playing a big role this weekend.”
If Goedert does need a break, Sirianni said the team is confident in the backups. Jack Stoll is the only other tight end on the active roster at the moment. Richard Rodgers and Noah Togiai are on the practice squad and can be called up for the game.
“Conditioning-wise, whatever it is, I can be out there the whole game,” Goedert said. “Running out there and practicing today, I felt really good.”
