Posted: September 16th, 2024 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | Comments Off on Gameday – ATL at PHIWe’re just over an hour away from the home opener. Let’s jump right into the news of the day.
We’ve signed OL Nick Gates to the active roster, elevated WR Parris Campbell and TE E.J. Jenkins from the Practice Squad for tonight’s game, and waived LB Patrick Johnson. pic.twitter.com/LrczXgyrZD

The Eagles finally added a backup C to the roster. Gates isn’t anything to write home about, but he should be a serviceable veteran if called upon.
We knew Campbell would be up with AJ being out. It will be interesting to see if Campbell gets any targets and is able to make any plays. Jenkins gives the team a #3 TE.
Cutting Johnson isn’t a shocker to me. This is his fourth year and he’s been primarily a STer. I guess I am surprised they kept Oren Burks over Johnson. Both guys are backups and STs at deep positions. The coaches must feel Burks is the better STer.

It is a bit surprising to see White inactive again. I’m assuming his ankle is still an issue, but we’ll find out for sure when the media gets to talk to players and coaches after the game.

Some good stuff in here.

It sure feels like this is a game the Eagles ought to win. Yesterday’s upsets make me a bit nervous, but the Eagles were able to witness that so the players have no excuses for being caught off-guard.
