Marvin Wilson elevated vs. Texans

Eagles inactives: Marvin Wilson elevated vs. Texans at first appeared on NBC Athletics Philadelphia

HOUSTON — Devoid of Jordan Davis, who was put on IR with a large ankle sprain previously this week, the Eagles elevated defensive deal with Marvin Wilson on Thursday.

Wilson, 24, is active as the Eagles (7-) confront the Houston Texans (1-5-1).

The Florida Point out product is a Houston indigenous, so this elevation must be especially sweet for him. Wilson (6-5, 305) performed in just one video game for the Eagles as a rookie. Against the Cowboys in the standard period remaining, Wilson played 19 snaps and had 3 tackles.

The Eagles will certainly skip Davis for at least the next 4 months and Texans functioning back Dameon Pierce will be a superior initially examination to see in which the operate defense is devoid of him.

Here’s a finish appear at Eagles inactives:

CB Josiah Scott (ankle)
QB Ian E book
OL Josh Sills
OL Sua Opeta
CB Josh Jobe

The Eagles dominated Scott out previously in the week. He damage his ankle from the Steelers a handful of times in the past. With no Scott, the Eagles are a minor missing in the depth office in the secondary.

The excellent news is that the Texans are actually lacking in the vast receiver section. Previously without their 2nd major receiver Nico Collins, information broke on Thursday that their finest receiver (and perhaps offensive player) Brandin Cooks will not perform in this recreation.

Cooks envisioned to be traded prior to the deadline and was not joyful to stay with the lowly Texans.

The point that Opeta is inactive displays the Eagles are comfortable in their other backup alternatives at guard, such as Jack Driscoll, Cam Jurgens and most likely even Andre Dillard.

Although both of those teams are enjoying on a shorter week, at the very least the Texans are at house. The Eagles had to travel halfway throughout the country. But they began their preparation for the Texans through the bye 7 days and quickly just after blowing out the Steelers had been now in recovery mode.
