Eli Stowers, the 2025 John Mackey Award winner, was drafted by Philadelphia in Round 2, No. 54 to serve as their long-term answer at tight end, given that Dallas Goedert is 31 and on a one-year deal.NegativeInjuryAug 31, 2026
Rookie Eli Stowers struggled on the field during training camp and is now dealing with a hamstring injury, limiting his early-season availability and role in the Eagles tight end room.NegativeRoleAug 27, 2026
Stowers has not shown much to get excited about as a receiver or blocker throughout camp. He has not exhibited the explosive traits in his body, has sometimes looked tentative as a blocker, and has not made catches further than about 10 yards down the field. The source suggests Stowers is swimming mentally, trying to learn an offense while acclimating to the speed of the NFL; he is thinking rather than just playing. Currently on the shelf with a hamstring injury, Stowers is unplayable and likely to be a gameday inactive.NegativeRoleAug 19, 2026
Eagles tight end Eli Stowers' willingness in blocking concerns Jaylin Lane Jonny Page. Stowers looks like he has a total lack of play strength and knows it. On a rep where he was responsible for kicking out the edge defender, he slows down before contact and allows the defender to initiate the collision, getting driven back into the intended running lane. Stowers approaches the collision tentatively, loses all momentum, and gives himself no chance to create power—a rep that goes beyond imperfect technique and suggests he may not be ready for regular-season blocking assignments at his current skill set.NegativeRoleAug 18, 2026
Eagles rookie tight end Eli Stowers started at tight end and played a handful of snaps in the first quarter of the preseason opener, lining up inline and in the slot while catching three short passes. He failed to look dynamic catching the football and only looked fine as a blocker. His role this year will require him to make the most out of his targets and provide solid run blocking. It was an unremarkable day for the talented rookie, though not a huge red flag given it is his first live NFL snaps with a roster that will not be starting in a few weeks.NegativeRoleAug 18, 2026

Stowers has followed up a very quiet spring with a very quiet start to training camp; the rookie tight end has yet to rotate in with the first-team offense, with Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, E.J. Jenkins, and Grant Calcaterra all taking more reps with the starters. The source suggests it's hard to expect Stowers to have a significant role in 2026, though he may heat up later in the summer.NegativeRoleAug 3, 2026
Stowers has not impressed during early Eagles training camp and is working on blocking drills with the offensive line rather than route-runner drills with quarterbacks, indicating the team views blocking as his more underdeveloped skill area compared to other tight ends like Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, Grant Calcaterra, and Cameron Latu.NegativeRoleAug 3, 2026
