Epps (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Epps logged consecutive full practices to end the week and has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol. The free safety has avoided an injury designation just in time to start in Sunday's playoff clash. The 29-year-old is set to reclaim his starting role from fellow safety Sydney Brown, who will likely see fewer defensive snaps in Sunday's contest.

Epps (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Epps was limited in practice Wednesday, so while it remains uncertain whether he's yet officially cleared the concussion protocol he's certainly trending in the right direction in his recovery. The starting safety will look to attain full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, and suit up for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the 49ers.

Epps (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Epps was unable to play in last Sunday's loss to the Commanders due to a concussion he sustained in last week's practice. The free safety's upgrade to limited practice participation means he is already advancing through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and could be available for Sunday's playoff game against the 49ers. The 29-year-old veteran has two more opportunities to upgrade his practice participation and be cleared of any concussion symptoms by one of the league's independent neurologists.

Epps (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
Epps was a new addition to Friday's injury report with a concussion he likely suffered in Thursday or Friday's practice session. Michael Carter or Sydney Brown will likely start at free safety in Epps' absence. With the starter's concussion occurring so late in the week, the 29-year-old is in danger of missing the Eagles' first playoff game as well, so defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will likely be watching Carter and Brown's Sunday performances closely.

Epps is warming up as a starting safety alongside Reed Blankenship prior to Monday's game against the Chargers, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Epps was activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Chargers and looks likely to step into a significant role immediately. He has played almost exclusively on special teams in his previous eight games this season, but Andrew Mukuba's (ankle) injury has created an opportunity at safety.

Epps (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve by the Eagles and is active for Monday night's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Epps will make his return to action Monday night against the Chargers following a four-game absence with a shoulder issue. The 29-year-old will be back in his role as a top reserve option behind Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown at safety versus Los Angeles.

Epps (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Epps has appeared in all eight of Philadelphia's games this season, so it's unclear how or when he picked up this injury. He won't be able to return until at least Week 14.

Philadelphia signed Epps to the practice squad Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Epps is linking with the Eagles' practice squad, not the team's 53-man roster. The veteran safety was released by New England on Tuesday and quickly rejoins Philadelphia in a depth capacity, a role he filled with the Eagles from 2019-2021 before operating as a full-time starter in 2022.
