Blankenship and Gainwell are nursing rib injuries. Bradberry remains in the concussion protocol.
. The Eagles likely will have three running backs at their disposal in Penny, D’Andre Swift, and Boston Scott.is expected to fill in for Bradberry on the outside. Jobe, a 2022 undrafted free agent, has yet to start an NFL game, but he has played in 12 games over the course of his two seasons with the Eagles. The eight-year veteran Bradberry exited Sunday’s game after, and Jobe filled in for him on eight snaps, posting one pass breakup on two targets.
Bradberry has seldom missed a game throughout his NFL career. Since his 2016 rookie season, in which he played 13 games, Bradberry has appeared in 97 of a possible 99 regular-season games. He has not missed a game since Dec. 20, 2020, when he was on the COVID-19 list as a member of the New York Giants before their Week 14 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.The Eagles’ depth at safety and inside linebacker is not as robust as it is at running back and cornerback.
At inside linebacker, the Eagles have Zach Cunningham, Christian Elliss, and Nicholas Morrow on their active roster. Morrow, a five-year veteran who signed with the Eagles in free agency, wasfrom the practice squad on Tuesday. Morrow started all 17 games with the Chicago Bears last season, finishing with a career-high 116 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, one interception, and two pass breakups.
Cunningham got picked on in coverage on Sunday, allowing nine receptions on 11 targets for 71 yards, according to PFF. The Eagles eventually opted to play Elliss over Cunningham during the game, but Dean’s injury forced Cunningham back on the field. With Dean on injured reserve, defensive coordinator Sean Desai will identify a different player to be the on-field play-caller. When Dean left the game in the third quarter Sunday, Desai split green-dot responsibilities between Elliss and Blankenship, indicating that Elliss could be a candidate for the role on Thursday.
