Blankenship finished his fourth season in the NFL with 83 tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and an interception.
EDGE Analysis
The former undrafted free agent has established himself as a key part of one of the league's best defenses, finishing third on the team in tackles for the second straight year and starting every game except Week 18, when the Eagles rested their starters. His tackle total improved by five compared to the previous season, though he did see his interceptions drop from four to one.

Blankenship made eight tackles (six solo) in Monday's overtime loss to the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenship was one of four Philadelphia players to finish with exactly eight tackles in the tough loss. The fourth-year safety has produced at least eight stops in three straight games after failing to do so in any of his first 10 contests of the campaign. Blankenship's surge has pushed him up to 72 tackles through 13 games -- he notched 78 stops in 15 regular-season contests last year.

Blankenship is clear of injury designation ahead of Friday's matchup against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenship sustained a thigh injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cowboys, but two limited practices earlier in the week, capped off with a full practice Thursday, were enough to stave off injury designation heading into Friday's game. The starting safety's health will be a critical part of the Eagles' defense going into a primetime matchup.

Blankenship (thigh) was a limited participant in Philadelphia's practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenship sustained a thigh injury during the Week 12 loss versus Dallas and has now been limited in two straight practice sessions. While the 26-year-old will look to be good to go for Friday's game versus the Bears, Michael Carter should get the start at safety if Blankenship ends up being unable to play.

Blankenship (thigh) was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday's estimated report.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenship suffered a thigh injury during the third quarter of Sunday's overtime loss to the Cowboys, and he was unable to return to that contest. Per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio indicated Tuesday that he expects Blankenship to be available for Friday's game against the Bears, and the latter's ability to open the week with a limited practice session indicates that the injury isn't considered a serious one. Blankenship will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Friday's contest.

Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday that he expects Blankenship (thigh) to play Friday against the Bears, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenship was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Cowboys and was walking with a pretty significant limp following his exit, but it sounds like he avoided a major injury. With Andrew Mukuba suffering a fractured ankle in the same game, getting Blankenship back for Week 13 will be huge for the back end of the Philly defense.

EDGE Analysis
Blankenship's seven stops set a season-high mark.
