The Eagles made several roster moves on Saturday following the downgrade of wide receiver Johnny Wilson (hamstring) to out for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
The team signed wide receiver Parris Campbell to the active roster, placed linebacker Ben VanSumeren on Injured Reserve, and elevated linebacker Ochaun Mathis and tight end C.J. Uzomah from the practice squad.
Parris Campbell Signed to Active Roster
Campbell, who had previously been signed from the Eagles’ practice squad earlier this season, will join the team for the second time. He has played in four games this season, recording six receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown. With Johnny Wilson out and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) listed as questionable for Sunday, Campbell’s experience will be valuable. His most recent game was on October 20 against his former team, the Giants.
Ben VanSumeren Placed on Injured Reserve
The linebacker/fullback, who was added to the injury report on Friday with a knee issue, has been placed on Injured Reserve. VanSumeren, a key contributor on special teams, had logged 213 snaps, ranking third on the team in that category. He also contributed 22 snaps on offense as a fullback this season.
Ochaun Mathis and C.J. Uzomah Elevated from Practice Squad
Mathis, a second-year linebacker from Nebraska, is set to make his debut for the Eagles after joining the practice squad on November 22. Standing 6-foot-5 and weighing 250 pounds, Mathis previously played five games for the New England Patriots this season.
Uzomah, a 10-year NFL veteran, has been elevated for the third consecutive game. In his two previous appearances, he played 19 offensive snaps as the third tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra.
Ravens Roster Moves
The Baltimore Ravens placed tight end Charlie Kolar and cornerback Arthur Maulet on Injured Reserve. Kolar, who broke his forearm in Monday’s win over the Chargers, and Maulet, who was already ruled out with calf and knee injuries, will both miss the game. Baltimore also elevated defensive end Chris Wormley and linebacker William Kwenkeu from the practice squad for Sunday’s matchup.
