Blankenship (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers and is expected to play. Blankenship missed last week's win over Carolina, but he's ready to return after being concussed in Week 13 versus Baltimore. On the season, Blankenship has 67 tackles (44 solo), five pass breakups, including three interceptions, and one fumble recovery.
Blankenship (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. The safety was a limited participant Wednesday after missing the Eagles' Week 14 win over the Panthers. Blankenship suffered the concussion in Week 13 against the Ravens and did not practice at all last week, so his return should be a good sign. The third-year pro has 67 tackles (44 solo), five pass breakups, including three interceptions, and a fumble recovery in 2024.
Blankenship (concussion) practiced Wednesday in limited fashion. After suffering a concussion Week 13 against the Ravens, Blankenship missed this past Sunday's win over the Panthers. He didn't practice at all last week, so his limited participation to begin this week is a positive step toward returning to actin. Blankenship will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday versus Pittsburgh.
Blankenship (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports. The Middle Tennessee product sustained a concussion in the Eagles' Week 13 win over the Ravens and didn't practice all week, so missing Sunday's contest comes as no surprise. With Blankenship and Sydney Brown (knee) both sidelined for Week 14, Tristin McCollum will likely serve as Philadelphia's top free safety.
Blankenship (concussion) didn't participate in Thursday's practice. Blankenship was diagnosed with a concussion during the Eagles' Week 13 win over the Ravens. Given his consecutive DNPs to open the week, it appears unlikely that Blankenship will be able to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in time for Sunday's game against the Panthers. If Blankenship and Sydney Brown (knee) were unable to play Sunday, Tristin McCollum would be the top candidate to start at free safety alongside strong safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
Blankenship (concussion) was listed as a DNP on the Eagles' estimated injury report Wednesday. Blankenship was diagnosed with a concussion in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens. Even if he returns to practice over the next two days, he would need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocols in order to play against the Panthers on Sunday. If Blankenship is unable to be cleared in time for Sunday's game, Tristin McCollum and Sydney Brown (knee) would be the top candidates to start at free safety alongside strong safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
Blankenship (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Ravens. Blankenship sustained a concussion against Baltimore, bringing his day to a premature end. The safety compiled four total tackles (three solo) before exiting the game. In his absence, Sydney Brown will see an increase in workload at safety versus the Ravens.
Blankenship recorded 10 tackles (four solo) and an interception during Thursday's 26-18 win versus the Commanders. Blankenship intercepted a Jayden Daniels pass intended for Noah Brown late in the fourth quarter to set up the touchdown that put Philadelphia up 26-10. His 10 tackles also tied a personal season high. He'll be on the fringe of IDP consideration in most formats in Week 12 against the Rams.
Blankenship recorded eight tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 37-17 win at Cincinnati. Blankenship's eight tackles Sunday were the most he's managed in a game since Week 2 versus the Falcons (10). He continued to show competence in coverage though, tallying his fourth pass breakup of the year. He'll be on the fringe of the IDP radar in Week 9 versus the Jaguars.
