Eagles rookie Eli Stowers faces uncertain status for opener against Commanders

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Eli Stowers holds the third spot on the team’s depth chart entering the Week 1 game against the Washington Commanders. While Stowers currently ranks ahead of EJ Jenkins on the official depth chart, team observers suggest he may be inactive for the season opener. Dallas Goedert remains the primary starter for Philadelphia, with Johnny Mundt serving as the backup. Stowers struggled to secure a larger role during training camp following his selection as a second-round draft choice. The team maintains flexibility regarding their roster, with potential practice squad elevations influencing the final count of inactive players. Stowers, who played at Texas A&M, New Mexico State, and Vanderbilt, may serve in a redshirt capacity during his initial NFL campaign.
