Edge rusher Nolan Smith will be back in the Eagles lineup on Monday night. The team announced that Smith has been activated from injured reserve ahead of their road game against the Packers.
Smith started the first three games of the year but missed the last five due to a triceps injury. His return boosts the Eagles’ pass rush as they prepare for a crucial matchup.
Additionally, the Eagles are expected to have Jaelan Phillips making his debut after joining the team in a trade with the Dolphins last week. This will provide a different look on the edge for the Eagles in Green Bay.
On the other hand, cornerback Jakorian Bennett and offensive lineman Willie Lampkin were not activated from injured reserve. Meanwhile, linebacker Patrick Johnson was elevated from the practice squad in the day’s only other roster move.
With these changes, the Eagles are aiming to strengthen their defensive front and overall roster depth for Monday night’s game.
