Right here’s some Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers roster information forward of their Week 15 recreation at Lincoln Monetary Discipline.
The Eagles downgraded WR Johnny Wilson from no standing to questionable.
Wilson missed Friday’s apply as a result of an “sickness” designation however he was listed with out a recreation standing on the ultimate damage report.
It’s fairly uncommon for gamers to overlook a recreation as a result of being sick. Additionally, the Eagles didn’t make any huge receiver strikes, so the guess right here is that Wilson performs.
If he doesn’t, they’ll be down to only A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, and Ainias Smith. Britain Covey was dominated out for this week’s recreation.
The Eagles briefly elevated FB Khari Blasingame from the apply squad.
That is the second week in a row the Eagles are elevating Blasingame. Final week, he performed one offensive snap at fullback along with 15 particular groups snaps. He’ll probably play the same position in opposition to the Steelers.
The Eagles can solely briefly elevate Blasingame to the roster yet one more time within the common season.
The Steelers activated NT Montravius Adams from injured reserve to their roster.
The Steelers had been in want of some extra defensive position depth, as outlined by Behind The Metal Curtain:
The timing of his return is very pertinent, as teammate and DL starter Larry Ogunjobi has been dominated out for Week 15, coping with a groin damage that pressured him from Week 14’s win over the Cleveland Browns.
Adams was taking part in round 30% of defensive snaps in his six video games previous to struggling a knee damage in Week 7, subsequently positioned on the injured reserve record. In restricted taking part in time, Adams had 1 sack and eight tackles (1 TFL). We’ll see how a lot taking part in time he’ll get upon return, but when absolutely wholesome, it appears probably he’ll see a higher workload than typical within the absence of Ogunjobi, probably rotating within the combine with Isaiahh Loudermilk and Dean Lowry (inactive final week).
The Steelers positioned backup offensive deal with Calvin Anderson on IR to open up the spot for Adams.
