Eagles injury report: Jordan Mailata’s status ahead of Chiefs game

The Eagles released their final injury report before Thursday night’s first-place showdown with Washington commanders at Lincoln Financial Field and all 53 players on the active roster will likely be available for coach Nick Sirianni after left tackle Jordan Mailata was activated from injured reserve.

Mailata’s 21-day window opened Monday, and he’s been a full participant in practice all week. The Eagles went 4-0 in Mailata’s absence, thanks in large part to the work of Fred Johnson, who filled in for Mailata. But the return of one of the best tackles in the NFL is certainly a welcome one for the Eagles. Over the last two seasons, he allowed just four sacks on 862 pass blocks, according to Pro Football Focus, which ranked him as the third-best tackle in the NFL.
