DEC 17 EAGLES CLINCH PLAYOFF BERTH With the San Francisco 49ers’ 45-29 win over the Arizona Cardinals, the Philadelphia Eagles have officially clinched a playoff berth. They join the 49ers and Dallas Cowboys as the only three teams to clinch a postseason spot so far.

The Cowboys were throttled by the Buffalo Bills in a 31-10 loss at Highmark Stadium on Sunday, which puts the Eagles even further into driver’s seat to win the NFC East.

The Eagles will close out Week 15 on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.

DEC 16 SLAY OUT VS SEAHAWKS Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay is out for Monday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery this week, per reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

He is expected to return before the regular season concludes, per the report.

This season, Slay has posted 57 total tackles, 15 passes defended, two interceptions and one touchdown.

DEC 10 BLANKENSHIP INJURED Philadelphia Eagles safety Reed Blankenship had to exit in the first half of Sunday night’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, and the team later announced that he is being evaluated for a concussion.

The team has now ruled him out for the game.

Blankenship has dealt with injuries this season, including a notable rib issue early in the year.

Here’s Philly’s official injury announcement:

DEC 8 ELLIS TO NEW ENGLAND The Philadelphia Eagles waived linebacker Christian Elliss on Wednesday, but he’s quickly found a new home.

The New England Patriots claimed Elliss off of waiver Thursday, adding him to coach Bill Belichick’s defense hours before the Patriots completed a 21-18 road upset over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Elliss didn’t play of course, but he could likely be active for the first time when the Patriots take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15.

ESPN’s Field Yates reported that many other teams attempted to claim Elliss.

“New Patriots LB Christian Elliss was an extremely popular player on waivers, as six teams put in a claim on him, per source: Patriots Cardinals Titans Falcons Broncos Dolphins,” Yates tweeted.

DEC 6 NFL MEMO The NFL released a memo Wednesday addressing sideline conduct in light of Sunday’s altercation between San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Philadelphia Eagles security chief Dom DiSandro.

The memo addresses all 32 teams, stating that staff personnel are prohibited from “being involved with game day altercations and that they must refrain from such involvement.”

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the situation “remains under review by the league office.” Greenlaw poked DiSandro in the eye area after the Eagles’ security chief got in the middle of some back-and-forth jawing following an unnecessary roughness flag on Greenlaw.

Here’s the full memo:

DEC 4 DOM VS DRE Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the NFL is set to review video from the sideline incident that occurred between Philadelphia Eagles security chief Dom DiSandro and San Francisco during the third quarter of Sunday’s game at Lincoln Financial Field. The Niners won 42-19.

This process could determine whether or not DiSandro and Greenlaw receive punishment from the league, who were both ejected after the incident. Per the report, the league is expected to follow up with the Eagles later in the week.

After Greenlaw drew an unnecessary roughness flag on the Eagles sideline, DiSandro got in the middle of Greenlaw and Philly receiver DeVonta Smith. Greenlaw then poked DiSandro near his eye area before walking away.

DEC 3 EAGLES INACTIVES The Philadelphia Eagles have revealed their inactives for today’s game against the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field.

Despite not practicing during the week due to the groin injury he suffered in the win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox is active against the 49ers.

Here’s the full inactives list:

DEC 1 EAGLES RULE OUT TWO VS NINERS The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled out two players for Sunday’s showdown with the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field.

Linebacker Zach Cunningham (hamstring) and safety Justin Evans (knee) are both out while tight end Dallas Goedert (forearm) is doubtful. Defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (groin) and tight end Grant Calcaterra (ankle) are both questionable.

Here’s the full injury report:

NOV 30 EAGLES ROSTER MOVES The Philadelphia Eagles are making some key roster moves ahead of Sunday’s meeting with the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles announced these moves via social media on Thursday:

“We’ve signed LB Ben VanSumeren to the active roster, signed DB Josiah Scott and WR Cam Sims to the Practice Squad, and released WR Greg Ward from the Practice Squad.”

Eagles fans will now be waiting to see if Shaquille Leonard is the next piece to fall into place after the former Indianapolis Colts linebacker arrived in Philadelphia on Wednesday for his free-agency visit.

Eagles injury report

@Eagles – X

NOV 26 HURTS SETS RECORD Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts set an NFL record on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills thanks to his latest Brotherly Shove rushing touchdown.

Hurts scored from one yard out to give the Eagles a 7-0 lead, but simultaneously became the first quarterback in NFL history to have 10 or more rushing touchdowns in three straight seasons.

Take a look:

NOV 25 EAGLES ROSTER MOVES The Philadelphia Eagles have made a pair of notable roster move ahead of their matchup with the Buffalo Bills at home on Sunday.

The Eagles announced that they’ve activated receiver Quez Watkins off of injured reserve and have elevated linebacker Ben VanSumeren and tight end Noah Togiai from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s marquee matchup.

Watkins, who is listed as questionable for Sunday, had been on IR for the past four games due to a hamstring injury.

NOV 20 MILTON WILLIAMS OUT Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams took an incidental hit to the helmet from teammate and Eagles linebacker Nicholas Morrow in the third quarter of Monday night’s meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs.

He appeared shaken up afterwards, and the Eagles announced at the start of the fourth quarter that Williams is being evaluated for a concussion. The team announced shortly after that Williams is now out for the rest of the game.

Williams exited the game with five total tackles and one tackle for loss.

NOV 8 ‘YOU CAN’T BREATHE!’ We know what the “Tush Push” does to Eagles opponents; it’s 4,000 pounds of muscle shoving them backward for another Philly first down or touchdown.

And beyond those “grunts,” we know what is does for the NFL glamor guy, the quarterback; Jalen Hurts gets the stats.

But what about the guy who is sort of caught in the middle of the muddle?

Said 170-pound receiver DeVonta Smith on the “This Is Football Podcast,” describing his thoughts and involvement on the “Tush Push”: “You can’t breathe. Everybody’s on top of you, you can’t breathe. No matter how hard you try to breathe, it doesn’t work.”

And therefore? “I’m going to push a little bit,” Smith added, “but I’m not going to get up in that pile.”

NOV 5 JALEN HURTS INJURY SCARE Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had an injury scare at the end of the first half of Sunday’s meeting with the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field.

Hurts, who has been dealing with a bone bruise in his knee, took a hard hit to his lower body while standing in the pocket as the Eagles were driving with under a minute. He was in visible pain on the ground before limping off slowly.

Luckily for Philly, he returned to the field to begin the third quarter. Still, there’s no doubt that all Eagles fans were holding their breath.

Cameras caught him heading to the locker room right before halftime. He finished the first half 10 of 13 passing for 120 yards and one rushing touchdown.
