Eagles Open Practice Window for Rookie Tackle Myles Hinton

The rookie's return-to-practice designation offers Philadelphia an extra option at tackle during Lane Johnson's Lisfranc recovery.

Overview

  • Hinton returns to practice from injured reserve after being designated to return by the team, though he has not been activated to the 53-man roster.
  • Hinton, a sixth-round pick at No. 191, is listed at 6-foot-6 and 332 pounds and played at Stanford before helping Michigan win a national title.
  • The move follows Lane Johnson suffering a Week 11 Lisfranc sprain that reports say could sideline him for 4–6 weeks.
  • Fred Johnson is currently filling in at right tackle as the Eagles manage their depth at the position.
  • Philadelphia is 8–2 and preparing for a Week 13 trip to Dallas, increasing the urgency to solidify offensive tackle depth.
