DeVonta Smith and Darius Slay were both practice on Wednesday for the Eagles.
PHILADELPHIA - Early returns look positive for the return of two significant starters for the Eagles this weekend when they host the 3-9 Carolina Panthers on Sunday.Smith has missed the previous two games with a hamstring injury and Slay was absent for this past Sunday's 24-19 win over Baltimore while in the league's concussion protocol.
Backup Grant Calcaterra will handle TE1 duties against Carolina while veteran C.J. Uzomah was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster earlier Wednesday. Uzomah and PS tight end E.J. Jenkins are both out of PS elevations so a move was necessary. Uzomah has played in the Eagles’ last three games as a practice squad call-up elevations as the third TE behind Goedert and Calcaterra, playing 39 snaps on offense and 13 more on special teams. Presumably, that workload will increase with no Goedert.
