Eagles are hopeful that DT Jordan Davis can play in Week 13 matchup vs. Titans

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says Jordan Davis has looked good in his return to practice and was hopeful that the defensive tackle can play vs. the Titans on Sunday

Jordan Davis has had a strong week of practice and depending on how he looks on Friday, the rookie defensive tackle could return to the lineup for Week 13.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni told the media on Friday that he was hopeful to have Jordan back after a four-game stint on injured reserve.

Out of the lineup since Week 8, Davis told Josh Tolentino of The Inquirer that he lost 20 pounds while on injured reserve, putting an increased focus on his conditioning.

The former Georiga All-American had played in all seven games before then, starting five.

Davis has totaled 14 tackles since his NFL debut while being the main cog in the Philadelphia defensive front that should be dominant with Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh also in the lineup.

Jordan Davis is returning to the Eagles lineup and he’ll be in even better condition after rehabbing a high ankle injury.

Out of the lineup since Week 8, Davis told Josh Tolentino of The Inquirer that he lost 20 pounds while on injured reserve, putting an increased focus on his conditioning.

The added athleticism should make the monstrous defensive tackle that much more efficient.

Davis has totaled 14 tackles since his NFL debut while being the main cog in the Philadelphia defensive front that should be dominant with Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh also in the lineup.

Eagles DT Jordan Davis could miss time after suffering high ankle sprain in win over Steelers

The Philadelphia Eagles could be without rookie defensive tackle Jordan Davis for more than a month after suffering a high ankle sprain in a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers

The Eagles could be without rookie defensive tackle Jordan Davis for 4-6 weeks after he exited Sunday’s win over Pittsburgh with a high ankle sprain.

Davis will clearly miss Thursday’s matchup against the Houston Texans, and a Monday MRI could put the rookie on injured reserve if he does receive a month-long diagnosis.

One of the NFL’s highest-graded rookies, Davis had two tackles before being carted off.
