From the article

He never took any first-team reps, meaning he hasn't had much time to develop chemistry with Jalen Hurts. And it's not like he's known for blocking or helping out on special teams. So, it'll be interesting to see what the Eagles do with Stowers. The team is currently carrying three tight ends on the roster: Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, and E.J. Jenkins.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Stowers' lack of development reps and crowded TE depth chart limit near-term fantasy relevance.

Rookie tight end opened 21-day practice window after Week 4 IR eligibility. Was set to play Week 1 before being ruled questionable and downgraded when Eagles discovered he was more injured than initially realized; likely would have been healthy scratch. Never took first-team reps during offseason and preseason, limiting chemistry development with Jalen Hurts. Not known for blocking or special teams contributions. Eagles carry three tight ends (Goedert, Mundt, Jenkins) plus Zach Ertz on practice squad; roster fit unclear and team unlikely rushing to activate him.
