Eagles List Adoree’ Jackson as Doubtful, Kelee Ringo Poised for First Start vs. Bucs

Philadelphia enters Week 4 thin at cornerback after Jakorian Bennett went to injured reserve, facing a Tampa Bay receiving group missing Mike Evans with Chris Godwin nearing a return.

Overview

  • Jackson’s groin injury left him as the only Eagles player with a game status designation on the final injury report, with the rest of the 53-man roster practicing fully Friday.
  • Bennett was placed on injured reserve with a pectoral injury and must miss at least four games, though the issue does not require surgery.
  • Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has told Ringo his opportunity was coming, as the 23-year-old special-teams standout now prepares for expanded defensive snaps.
  • Philadelphia signed veteran Parry Nickerson to the active roster for depth, with Nickerson and rookie Mac McWilliams the immediate reserves behind Quinyon Mitchell, Ringo, and nickel Cooper DeJean.
  • Tampa Bay will be without Mike Evans, while Chris Godwin, quarterback Baker Mayfield, and tackle Tristan Wirfs are listed as questionable and rookie Emeka Egbuka has 14 catches for 181 yards and three touchdowns through three games.
