STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Payton limited to 10 special teams snaps; could see more reps in lost season.

Despite receiving plenty of reps in training camp, Payton has been inactive five times and active but unplayed three times. He played 10 snaps on special teams in Week 5 against the Jaguars, his only field appearance. Joe Milton and Tanner McKee remain ahead on the depth chart, but given the Eagles' 2-7 record, Payton could eventually see offensive snaps or expanded special teams usage.
