Epps is considered day-to-day with a lower body injury, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Epps presumably picked up the injury at practice. The severity of the issue is unclear, but a quick return would be advantageous, as he is competing to earn a role providing depth at free safety on the team's final roster. The 24-year-old suited up six times for Philly last season.

The Eagles claimed Epps off waivers from the Vikings on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move comes one day after the Vikings plucked Andrew Sendejo off waivers from the Eagles, so essentially the two clubs exchanged safeties. Epps, a rookie sixth-round pick, played predominantly in a special-teams role with the Vikings. However, Sendejo leaves behind a steady workload in Philly, so Epps has the opportunity to compete with Rudy Ford for opportunities on defense.

Epps was waived by Minnesota on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Vikings needed to clear a roster spot after claiming Andrew Sendejo off waivers, and Epps wound up being the unlucky victim. Epps has played sparingly on special teams this season and was inactive last game. If he goes unclaimed, Minnesota may look to add the young safety to its practice squad.

The Vikings selected Epps in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 191st overall.

EDGE Analysis

Epps (6-foot, 197 pounds) wasn't invited to the combine, but he was a very productive four-year starter on a Wyoming defense that became quite good in the last two years. Epps showed well for himself at his pro day, too, supplementing an adequate 4.55 40 with a 38.5-inch vertical, 124-inch broad jump, and 10.84 agility score. He might compete for defensive snaps surprisingly early since presumed starter Anthony Harris is unproven.
