The Eagles just announced their inactives for tonight’s Week 3 matchup in Tampa Bay against the Buccaneers, and Mario Goodrich is a surprise healthy scratch.
Mario Goodrich being inactive is an eye-opener. After James Bradberry, nickel options are probably Sydney Brown and Eli Ricks. https://t.co/prQtnzb9qv

Earlier on Monday, the team elevated wide receiver Devon Allen and punter Braden Mann from the practice squad for the game.
Mann was signed to the practice squad on September 18 and will make his Eagles debut tonight.
Allen will make his NFL regular-season debut after spending last season and the first two weeks of this season on the practice squad.
Tampa will be without starting cornerback Carlton Davis III due to a toe injury. Their first-round pick, Calijah Kancey, is inactive because of a calf injury.
Defensive starters Vita Vea and Devin White will play after being listed as questionable for most of the week, along with starting guard Cody Mauch.
We’re looking at five things to watch during the Philadelphia #Eagles Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football
We’re just hours aways from an intriguing Monday night matchup featuring two undefeated NFC teams when Tampa host Philadelphia at Raymond James Stadium.
We’re looking at the Philadelphia #Eagles updated 53-man roster for Monday night’s Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NFL rosters are always fluid, and the Eagles have had some changes ahead of Monday night’s Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In Week 2, Philadelphia moved on from punter Arryn Siposs, signing Braden Mann to the practice squad.
The Eagles will also get back three key starters and it’s another prime opportunity for Nicholas Morrow, Christian Elliss, Sydney Brown, and others to carve out a role ahead of Week 4.
With kickoff just hours away, here’s an updated 53-man roster by jersey number.
The Colts elevated Trey Sermon from the practice squad and released Deon Jackson.
The Indianapolis Colts are signing running back Trey Sermon to the active roster from the practice squad and are releasing running back Deon Jackson, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Jackson served as the starting running back in Week 1 but struggled mightily between the tackles. When Zack Moss returned in Week 2, he took every snap and carry out of the backfield.
The #Colts are releasing RB Deon Jackson, source said, and bringing up RB Trey Sermon from the practice squad for the week. Jackson started Week 1 amid injuries.

Sermon was signed to the practice squad at the beginning of the week, and head coach Shane Steichen must feel comfortable enough to have him serve as the backup to Moss. It helps that Sermon worked with Steichen as a part of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022.
It’s expected that Moss will continue to see the majority of the work in the backfield but considering the weather conditions set to hit Baltimore on Sunday, Sermon could find his way onto the field.
