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.
We’re looking at ten players to watch when the Philadelphia #Eagles travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football
We’re a little over 48 hours away from an intriguing matchup between two undefeated teams on Monday Night Football when the Buccaneers host the Eagles at Raymond James Stadium.
Jalen Hurts, and Baker Mayfield are Oklahoma alums and battle test signal callers who’ve battled adversity to put their teams in prime positions for success in 2023.
On defense, both teams have talented pass rushers and dynamic talent in the secondary.
With Saturday’s practice being the final day of preparation before boarding a plane for Tampa, Florida, we’re looking at ten players to watch.
Tampa Bay’s injury list grew on Friday as the second-to-last injury report of the week was released.
The Friday injury report offers little good news for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While several Philadelphia Eagles players were upgraded, a couple of starters found themselves added to the list.
Linebacker Devin White (groin) and right guard Cody Mauch (back) were added to the injury list as limited participants at Friday’s practice. There were no changes for defensive tackle Vita Vea (pectoral), who remained limited, or rookies Calijah Kancey (calf) and SirVocea Dennis (hamstring), neither of whom practiced. The only upgrade was safety Ryan Neal (ribs/knee), going from limited to a full participant on Friday.
Meanwhile, four Eagles, all listed as starters, went from limited to full participants at practice. The only Philadelphia players still held out were backups or rotational players, wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) and safety Terrell Edmunds (illness).
Due to playing on Monday night, the Bucs will release one more injury report on Saturday. Most likely, Kancey and Dennis will miss Week 3, but it could come down to the wire with the rest of the injured Bucs. This is the second time Mauch has appeared on the injury report with back issues. He first popped on the list before Week 1 and missed Tampa Bay’s season opener. A return to the injury report for the same issue does not bode well for Mauch’s week-to-week health this season.

Reed Blankenship, Kenneth Gainwell, and James Bradberry have all returned to practice and look ready to return to the lineup.
At the same time, Quez Watkins and Terrell Edmunds both could be questionable, depending on what happens Saturday.
We’re looking at who has seen their stock rise and who has seen their stock fall ahead of the #Eagles Week 3 matchup against the Buccaneers
D’Andre Swift had a career-high 175 rushing yards and a touchdown, while some timely defensive stops were enough to give the Eagles a 34-28 victory at Lincoln Financial Field.
After a slow first-half start, All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts ran for a pair of 1-yard touchdowns and threw a 63-yard dime to DeVonta Smith for a touchdown to help widen the lead.
The Eagles have started preparation for a Monday night matchup against the Buccaneers, and we’re looking at the Week 3 stock report.
We’re looking at six storylines to watch when the Philadelphia #Eagles travel to Tampa to face the Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the defending NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
Both clubs will look to remain undefeated, while the Birds will get three starters back, and they’ll enter the contest on 11 days’ rest.
We’re looking at six early storylines to watch, with kickoff fast approaching.
Two new names have appeared on the team’s injury report for Week 3.
With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers making their prime time debut on Monday Night Football next week, their first injury report may have Bucs fans concerned with the health of their defense. Fortunately for Tampa Bay, the Philadelphia Eagles appear to be in much rougher shape.
Defensive tackle Vita Vea (pectoral) and safety Ryan Neal (rib/knee) make their first appearances on the injury list this year, both deemed limited participants at Thursday’s practice. Rookies Calijah Kancey (calf) and SirVocea Dennis (hamstring) are both still sitting out practice. Starting cornerback Carlton Davis (toe) appears to be on the mend as his status was upgraded to limited participation after being held out the past week.
The Eagles on the other hand had a dozen players on their injury report. The most significant inclusions are starting defensive tackles Fletcher Cox (ribs) and Jordan Davis (ankle) as well as starting cornerback James Bradberry (concussion), all of whom are listed as limited participants at practice. It is far too early to predict how these injuries will impact their availability for Monday Night Football, but that many names does increase the likelihood that some will miss their matchup with Tampa Bay.
