NegativeDepth ChartOct 27, 2026
Waived by Eagles on Thursday and signed to Falcons practice squad. The 27-year-old appeared in 16 regular-season games for Philadelphia over the last three seasons but has only one career catch, indicating minimal offensive impact.NegativeDepth ChartOct 26, 2026
E.J. Jenkins was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles and is signing with the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad instead. The Eagles had previously valued Jenkins enough to carry him as their third tight end on the roster, but chose not to sign him to their practice squad despite having the flexibility to temporarily elevate him to the game day roster up to three times.NegativeDepth ChartOct 22, 2026
Tight end waived by Eagles; roster move reflects team's depth chart decisions.NegativeDepth ChartOct 22, 2026
The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving tight end E.J. Jenkins from the 53-man roster. Jenkins was a surprise inclusion in late August but served as a third or fourth tight end on game days with zero targets in 67 offensive snaps over six games, contributing primarily as a blocker and on special teams. The waiver move may be tied to the Eagles running out of practice squad elevations for Zach Ertz, with the team potentially planning to sign Ertz to the active roster while bringing Jenkins back on the practice squad.NegativeInjuryOct 16, 2026
E.J. Jenkins is questionable for Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.NegativeInjuryOct 15, 2026
Jenkins was limited for the second day in a row with a toe injury. Jenkins might be able to play on Sunday.NegativeInjuryOct 14, 2026
Jenkins was added to the injury report on Friday last week as a full participant with a toe injury and was limited on Wednesday. He is a depth tight end.NegativeRoleOct 12, 2026
Jenkins was TE3 on the Eagles depth chart in Week 5, ahead of Zach Ertz who was TE4.NegativeInjuryOct 9, 2026
New addition to injury report with toe injury but fully participated in Friday practice. Will compete for snaps at tight end with Dallas Goedert back, Zach Ertz elevated from practice squad, and Johnny Mundt available.NegativeRoleOct 7, 2026
If Dallas Goedert is able to play against the Jaguars, the Eagles could have four tight ends active for Sunday: Goedert, Johnny Mundt, Zach Ertz, and Jenkins, with snap count distribution to be determined.NegativeRoleOct 6, 2026
On an under-center play-action pass, E.J. Jenkins failed to provide effective protection or contribute useful receiving options. The source criticizes the design for committing players to the fake and protection structure without getting enough from either blocking or receiving, leaving Hurts to make something happen after the play had already put him in trouble.PositiveRoleSep 29, 2026
Jenkins did an excellent job on edge blocking in a two-back shotgun run rep, which matters because poor edge blocking has undermined the Eagles' run game too often, especially at tight end. The source notes that competent tight-end blocking was a positive development, though Jenkins could have finished the play by taking on the safety.NegativeRoleSep 29, 2026
Tight end is not filling in well as a blocker or pass catcher, limiting his fantasy value in the Eagles offense. The source groups him with Johnny Mundt as both failing to adequately replace Dallas Goedert's production.NegativeRoleSep 25, 2026
With Dallas Goedert out due to knee injury, the Eagles will rely on a trio of tight ends: Zach Ertz, Johnny Mundt, and E.J. Jenkins. The source notes it's not exactly clear how snaps will be distributed among the three.NegativeRoleSep 23, 2026
Jenkins has flashed pass-catching ability in practice settings but has only two career targets for one reception that went for seven yards (and a touchdown). This minimal production made him an unreliable option to fill the tight end void created by Goedert's injury.NegativeDepth ChartSep 21, 2026
Moved up the depth chart from TE3 to TE2 following Dallas Goedert's knee injury in Week 2. Has yet to see a target this season, which the source characterizes as expected given his depth chart position.NegativeDepth ChartSep 20, 2026
E.J. Jenkins is on the active game-day roster as a backup tight end option for the Eagles behind Johnny Mundt in the event of extended Goedert absence; he represents the second-string depth at the position.NegativeRoleSep 14, 2026
E.J. Jenkins, the Eagles' TE3, mostly played on special teams in Week 1.NegativeDepth ChartSep 12, 2026
Listed as third tight end on Eagles depth chart following Stowers' IR placement. The source notes Jenkins offers special teams ability, which the Eagles have talked up as a contribution in that phase of the game, contrasting with Stowers' lack of special teams background.PositiveRoleSep 2, 2026
Roseman kept TE Jenkins on the active roster, highlighting his developmental story as a former Georgia Tech receiver who transformed his body to 6'6", 260 pounds with 34-inch arms. Jenkins is valued as a wide tight end in the mold of highly-sought free agency and draft targets; he contributes as a pass-catcher, point-of-attack run blocker, and pass protector, plus special teams contributor. Roseman noted Jenkins played in the Super Bowl in 2024 and represents an exciting developmental prospect for the organization.PositiveRoleSep 2, 2026
Earned roster spot after a strong summer camp. Film review of preseason game against Cincinnati showed Jenkins' blocking stood out, demonstrating the effort and physicality required to earn a roster spot. Rewarded for being a good blue-collar player in a team that shifted toward results-oriented roster decisions.NegativeRoleAug 31, 2026
E.J. Jenkins had a good summer but was still considered a bubble player on the Eagles' roster, indicating limited role security despite a positive training camp performance.PositiveRoleAug 30, 2026
Jenkins making the roster is a slight surprise; the source thought the Eagles would go with Cameron Latu since he's been a special teams standout, but Jenkins can also help on special teams and the team seems to like his blocking. However, he could be in jeopardy if the Eagles find tight end help via waivers or trade.PositiveDepth ChartAug 30, 2026

Jenkins suffered an upper body injury during practice and was looked at by trainers.PositiveRoleAug 24, 2026
Jenkins has shown promise in the running game, flashing as a blocker in the battle for the fourth tight end spot. The source has liked what Jenkins has shown in this role, positioning him as a contender for the roster.NegativeRoleAug 23, 2026
Jenkins had two notable plays: he dropped a touchdown pass from McKee that was ruled a turnover on downs, and later faced a contested ball in the end zone on a 4th-and-3 play where he couldn't make the catch as a Pats defender contested the ball.NegativeRoleAug 18, 2026
Jenkins is unlikely to make the final roster, but he consistently plays hard and has produced some enjoyable blocking reps whenever he has received preseason opportunities. On an Outside Zone run, Jenkins executed his assignment and gave the runner space to work. The source noted it was encouraging to see the Eagles have success running Outside Zone from under center, and credited Jenkins for his execution on this play.NegativeRoleAug 13, 2026
Jenkins was open on the left side on a play where Andy Dalton was rolling to but overthrew an open Gray in the end zone instead.NegativeDepth ChartAug 9, 2026
