Bears vs. Eagles: Inactive Players Announced for Black Friday Game

The anticipated Black Friday matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles will showcase key player updates. Notably, the Eagles will see the season debuts of wide receiver Britain Covey and safety Andre’ Sam.

Inactive Players for the Black Friday Game

Several players will not participate in this crucial game for Philadelphia. The full list of inactives includes:

  • QB Sam Howell (3rd string quarterback)
  • Right tackle Lane Johnson (misses second consecutive game due to foot injury)
  • Outside linebacker Joshua Uche (inactive for the first time this season)

Key Additions to the Eagles Roster

To bolster their lineup, the Eagles made important roster changes. Britain Covey has been signed to the active roster after rookie safety Andrew Mukuba was placed on Injured Reserve. Covey is expected to take on the return duties, especially with Xavier Gipson currently sidelined due to a shoulder injury.

Additionally, safety Andre’ Sam has been elevated from the practice squad. His inclusion adds valuable depth at the safety position while Mukuba is out. To further address their needs, the Eagles elevated Patrick Johnson from the practice squad, making him the sixth outside linebacker.

As the Bears prepare to face the Eagles on Black Friday, these roster moves will play a pivotal role in the game’s outcome.
