Philadelphia: So, guess what? Johnny Wilson is good to go for the Eagles’ game against the Steelers. He was feeling under the weather but managed to shake it off.
He missed practice on Friday and was listed as questionable, which had some fans worried. But hey, he’s been a solid player this season, starting in three out of twelve games.
Last week, he even outperformed Jahan Dotson, who was supposed to be the No. 3 receiver. It’s nice to see Wilson stepping up, especially after missing the Ravens game due to a hamstring issue.
Now, about the inactives for the game: Britain Covey is out with a neck injury, and this will be his second game missed. Rookie Cooper DeJean will take over punt returns.
On the bright side, safety Reed Blankenship is back after dealing with a concussion. He’ll be a great addition to the defense, especially after Tristin McCollum filled in last week.
Oh, and the Eagles also elevated fullback Khari Blasingame from the practice squad. He’s active for this game, which is pretty cool.
