Overview
- The Eagles opened 21‑day practice windows on Wednesday for Landon Dickerson, Jakorian Bennett, Grant Calcaterra and Eli Stowers so each can resume practice while remaining on injured reserve for evaluation.
- Coach Nick Sirianni declined to commit to immediate lineup changes for Dickerson despite his return to practice, saying the club has time to evaluate before deciding whether to activate him to the 53‑man roster.
- Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith did not participate in the portion of Wednesday practice open to media, leaving both players’ availability for Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers uncertain.
- Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio confirmed a series‑by‑series rotation at linebacker between Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Jihaad Campbell, and the team signed DB Dean Clark to the practice squad to bolster the injured secondary.
- The moves come with the Eagles at 2‑3 after a three‑game losing streak and persistent offensive line and rushing issues—Next Gen Stats shows a wide split in rushing efficiency with and without Barkley—so the 21‑day window could change match‑day plans and ease pressure on Jalen Hurts if activations follow.
