Okwuegbunam (hamstring) signed a one-year deal with the Eagles on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okwuegbunam spent the 2023 season in Philadelphia, but he was regularly a healthy inactive. In total, he suited up for only five contests and was on the field for 55 offensive snaps and five special teams snaps. Owuegbunam could see a slight uptick in his role in 2024, but he is very unlikely to make an impact on the stat sheet.

The Eagles placed Okwuegbunam (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Okwuegbunam hasn't played since Week 13, though before this week his absences were due to coach's decision. He sprung up on Philadelphia's injury report Friday due to a hamstring injury that will sideline him for the remainder of the regular season and into the playoffs. Okwuegbunam won't be eligible to return to action unless the Eagles advance to the NFC Championship Game.

Okwuegbunam (hamstring) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Okwuegbunam originally received a questionable designation due to a hamstring issue, but Philadelphia will ultimately err on the side of caution. The depth tight end's next opportunity to suit up will come in the regular-season finale versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old tight end was a late addition to the Eagles' injury report, as he popped up as a limited participant in Friday's practice due to a hamstring issue. Even if Okwuegbunam is ready to play Sunday, there's still a chance he's inactive, as he's been a healthy scratch each of the last three weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Okwuegunam played in the last four games as the backup tight end, but failed to catch a single pass over that span. Instead, Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra will handle the backup tight end duties behind Dallas Goedert.

Okwuegbunam was targeted once in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers but finished with zero catches.

EDGE Analysis

Okwuegbunam saw the field for 31 offensive snaps, more than the 24 snaps he'd played through the first 12 weeks and more than fellow tight ends Jack Stoll (24) and Grant Calcaterra (13). The larger workload didn't lead to any production for Okwuegbunam, however, and with Dallas Goedert potentially ready to return from a forearm injury next week against the Cowboys, Okwuegbunam's fantasy appeal will shrink still further.
