Eagles activate LT Jordan Mailata from injured reserve

Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles activated left tackle Jordan Mailata from injured reserve on Wednesday, clearing the way for his return Thursday night against the Washington Commanders.

The team opened Mailata's 21-day practice window Monday. He has not played since Week 6 due to a hamstring injury.

"I'm feeling good. Just trusting in the daily targets that I'm setting every day just to try and prepare for this game," Mailata said Tuesday. "It's been a long time since I've been on the field, it feels like it has been. I'm pretty excited."

Mailata, 27, started the first five games this season and 62 of his 67 career contests since Philadelphia selected the former Australian rugby player in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Fred Johnson has been starting at left tackle in Mailata's absence.

"Fred did an amazing job, I don't need to say anything. Fred is awesome, I love him to death. He stepped up and that's a credit to Fred and credit to Stout (position coach Jeff Stoutland) for preparing him that way," Mailata said. "Well done to him. I was texting him money bags (emojis) before the game, I was texting him money bags after the game. I was like, 'You're loading the bank right now.' I'm excited for Fred."

The Eagles (7-2) have won five consecutive games heading into Thursday's NFC East showdown against the visiting Commanders (7-3), with first place in the division at stake.

Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 11

Player Notes
Brian Thomas Jr. Nov 13 4:00pm CT
Brian Thomas Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, according to Demetrius Harvey of Jax.com. The LSU standout has been dealing with this chest injury for a few weeks but has yet to miss any time. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during the week in case he faces a setback. Last weekend with quarterback Mac Jones under center, Thomas tallied a season-low 12 yards on just two catches. Despite his two weak outings over the past two weeks, Thomas has averaged a stellar 15.2 PPR points during Weeks 1 through 8. Given his recent output, fantasy managers should view the 22-year-old as a WR3/flex with risk heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Detroit Lions with Jones making a second straight start.

Aaron Rodgers

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (hamstring, knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers is coming off one of his worst games of the season last week but was playing well in the previous two games. He can be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues but should be avoided in standard leagues.

C.J. Mosley

New York Jets CB Brandin Echols (concussion), OG Jake Hanson (hamstring), LB C.J. Mosley (neck), OT Tyron Smith (neck) and DE Solomon Thomas (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13. CB Michael Carter II (back), OT Morgan Moses (knee), CB D.J. Reed (hip), LB Chazz Surratt (heel) and OG Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) were limited during practice. S Chuck Clark (ankle) fully participated in practice.

Kirk Cousins Nov 13 3:50pm CT
Kirk Cousins

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins (shoulder, elbow) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Raimondi noted that even though this is the first time Cousins has been on the injury report this season, "nothing seems to be concerning" regarding his availability for this weekend. In addition, seeing him participate in a limited capacity is already a promising sign. Last weekend in their loss to the New Orleans Saints, Cousins threw for 306 yards, his second-highest total of the season, but he could not find the end zone. Throughout his first season in Atlanta, the veteran QB has averaged 20.0 PPR points per game and should be viewed as a low-end QB1 in Week 11 when he faces a tough Denver Broncos defense.

Josh Jacobs Nov 13 3:50pm CT
Josh Jacobs

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice according to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned but should continue to monitor his status throughout the week. However, seeing him already participate albeit in a limited capacity is a promising sign for his availability for this weekend. Throughout his first season in Green Bay, the former first-round selection as averaged a solid 14.7 PPR points per game with 84.7 rushing yards per game. If he is able to suit up this weekend to face the Chicago Bears, Jacobs should be viewed as an RB2 with upside.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Van Jefferson (quadriceps), CB Donte Jackson (hamstring), LB Alex Highsmith (ankle), OG Isaac Seumalo (non-injury), TE MyCole Pruitt (knee) and DE Cameron Heyward (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13. LB Nick Herbig (hamstring) fully participated in practice.

Najee Harris Nov 13 3:30pm CT
Najee Harris

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. Fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to his status throughout the week, as he could be in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens if he misses another session. Last weekend in their victory over the Washington Commanders, Harris eclipsed double-digit PPR points for the fourth straight contest. Through nine games this season, the Alabama product has averaged 71.7 yards per game with 17.4 attempts and 2.7 targets per game. Fantasy managers should view Harris as a solid RB2 heading into a divisional tilt against the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs.

Dallas Goedert Nov 13 3:23pm CT
Dallas Goedert

Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (ankle) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13, and is not on the injury report for Week 11.

Fantasy Spin: Goedert returned to the lineup last week and finished with 25 yards and a touchdown. He should see a handful of targets this week and can be considered a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues.

Christian McCaffrey Nov 13 3:20pm CT
Christian McCaffrey

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) will be a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, according to Tracy Sandler of FGSN. Sandler noted that his previous injury did not act up at all after the game and this is "part of the plan." McCaffrey made his 2024 season debut last weekend after sitting out the entire first half due to tendinitis in both of his Achilles. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during the week, but this could simply be a way to manage his workload given the time he missed. The 28-year-old looked sharp last weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and tallied 39 rushing yards and 68 receiving yards on 19 total touches. Fantasy managers should continue to view him as an elite RB1 going forward given his integral role on one of the best offensive units in football.

Indianapolis Colts DT DeForest Buckner (foot) and OT Bernhard Raimann (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13. LB E.J. Speed (knee) was limited during practice, while S Julian Blackmon (shoulder) fully participated in practice.

DE Brodric Martin (knee), S Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle), CB Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral) and DE Za'Darius Smith (non-injury) fully participated in practice. The Lions did not hold a practice Wednesday, so the practice report is an estimation.

George Kittle Nov 13 3:10pm CT
George Kittle

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. The standout tight end sustained this injury during last week's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the week, as he could be in danger of sitting out this weekend if he misses another practice. The 31-year-old has been enjoying another fantastic campaign. Kittle has found the end zone in all but two games this season and has averaged a stellar 17.6 PPR points and 70.0 receiving yards per game. If Kittle can suit up to face the Seattle Seahawks this weekend, fantasy managers should continue to lock him into all starting lineups as a high-end TE1.

Brian Robinson Jr. Nov 13 3:00pm CT
Brian Robinson Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is off the injury report and is good to go for Thursday's divisional tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles. Robinson has been sidelined for the past two games with a hamstring injury. In his absence, Austin Ekeler has been deployed as the top running back with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. operated as depth options. However, fantasy managers should expect Robinson to reclaim his lead role on Thursday evening and for Ekeler to revert back to his third-down role. The 25-year-old Alabama product has averaged a solid 14.1 PPR points per game this season and found the end zone six times in seven games. He should be viewed as a solid RB2 facing the Eagles who have allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs.

Washington Commanders LB Nick Bellore (knee), CB Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) and PK Austin Seibert (hip) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13, and have been ruled out for Week 11. OT Brandon Coleman (shoulder), OT Cornelius Lucas (ankle) and OT Andrew Wylie (shoulder) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable. DE Clelin Ferrell (knee) did not practice but is not on the injury report. C Tyler Biadasz (foot, ribs, thumb), LB Dante Fowler (groin), CB Noah Igbinoghene (thumb) and LB Jordan Magee (elbow) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

D.K. Metcalf Nov 13 2:40pm CT
D.K. Metcalf

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) will practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. Metcalf missed the team's last two games after spraining the MCL in his knee in Week 7, but he had the benefit of resting during last week's bye and could be trending toward making his return for a Week 11 divisional showdown against the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday. The team has been optimistic all along that the 26-year-old pass-catcher could return coming out of the bye week, so as long as he doesn't suffer a setback in practice, fantasy managers could have him back in their starting lineups. In the loss to the 49ers on Oct. 10, Metcalf caught only three of 11 targets for 48 yards. Metcalf is a fantasy starter when active, though, and his impending return will mean fewer targets and upside for both Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett.

Sam LaPorta Nov 13 2:10pm CT
Sam LaPorta

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) remains day-to-day but did not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. LaPorta's status for the Week 11 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday is firmly up in the air after he suffered an AC joint sprain of his shoulder in the Week 10 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday night. The 23-year-old second-year tight end will need to return to practice on either Thursday or Friday to have at playing this weekend. As such, fantasy managers should have a backup plan in place in case LaPorta doesn't receive the green light. Brock Wright would most likely have the most upside at the position in Detroit from a fantasy perspective if LaPorta is inactive. Although LaPorta found the end zone last Sunday, he's mostly been a disappointment in his sophomore campaign after finishing as the TE1 in fantasy in 2023.

Isaiah Likely Nov 13 2:00pm CT
Isaiah Likely

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (hamstring) is at practice on Wednesday after missing each of the last four practices and the Week 10 game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a hamstring injury. It's early in the week, so fantasy managers should monitor his official status on the injury report all week leading up to the Week 11 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Likely kicked off the 2024 season with a bang, catching nine passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. However, he has been the TE30 in half-PPR formats since that game, averaging just 4.4 half-PPR fantasy points per game. He is not on the fantasy radar for now, but his return to the lineup could have a slight negative impact on Mark Andrews.

Mitch Wishnowsky Nov 13 2:00pm CT
Mitch Wishnowsky

The San Francisco 49ers signed punter Pat O'Donnell to the practice squad on Wednesday with starter Mitch Wishnowsky (back) dealing with a back injury. O'Donnell has appeared in 145 games with the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers and has punted 616 times in his career. The 31-year-old has a career average of 45.1 yards per punt, and 36.4% of his punts have been downed inside the 20-yard line. While punters don't directly affect fantasy football, losing a starter could put defenses in tougher positions.

Buffalo Bills OL Spencer Brown (ankle), WR Keon Coleman (wrist) and TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) did not practice on Wednesday, Nov. 13. Also, WR Amari Cooper (wrist) and LB Matt Milano (biceps) were limited and QB Josh Allen (hand), CB Christian Benford (wrist), LB Terrel Bernard (ankle, pectoral), CB Kaiir Elam (shoulder), FB Reggie Gilliam (hip), WR Mack Hollins (shoulder), DT DaQuan Jones (foot), TE Quintin Morris (shoulder, hamstring), S Taylor Rapp (foot, shoulder), WR Curtis Samuel (pectoral, foot), DE Casey Toohill (knee) and LB Dorian Williams (knee) practiced in full. Buffalo's injury report was an estimation because the team only conducted a walkthrough.
