Defensive end Brandon Graham was not activated off the Commissioner Exempt list. Graham came out of retirement this week to join the Eagles for his 16th season and is expected to make his 2025 debut after the Bye Week against the Packers.
With Graham and Ojulari (hamstring) inactive, the Eagles’ three healthy edge rushers are Jalyx Hunt, Joshua Uche, and Patrick Johnson. Linebacker Jihaad Campbell also got edge snaps last week.
Linebacker Nakobe Dean will play his first game at Lincoln Financial Field since his season-ending injury against the Packers in the playoffs last year. Dean made his season debut in Week 6 against the Giants but did not play a defensive snap. Dean played in Philadelphia’s base defense last week while Campbell was the linebacker in the nickel defense.
Xavier Gipson will play his second game of the season and first against his former team. Gipson was claimed by the Giants at the start of the season but never played in a game for them. He was later waived and claimed by Philadelphia.
