Eagles Name Seven Inactives Including Backup QB Against Cowboys

The Philadelphia Eagles announced seven inactives for their season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, including backup quarterback Tanner McKee, rookie defensive tackle Ty Robinson, and edge rushers Azeez Ojulari and Ogbo Okoronkwo. McKee was ruled out due to a thumb injury, leading to Sam Howell stepping in as the backup quarterback behind starter Jalen Hurts. Veteran Adoree’ Jackson started at outside cornerback, with rookie Andrew Mukuba at safety, while rookie Jihaad Campbell started at inside linebacker. The Eagles elevated safety Marcus Epps and edge rusher Patrick Johnson from the practice squad, both returning to the active roster this season. Despite Ojulari’s offseason acquisition, he remains behind others like Josh Uche and Jaylx Hunt in the pass rush rotation. The Eagles' deep roster and strategic practice squad elevations provide strong depth as they enter the new season.
