The Eagles activated Mailata (hamstring) from injured reserve Wednesday. Mailata practiced in full all week after his 21-day practice window was opened Monday, and he's now in line to return for Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Commanders. With Mailata fully past his hamstring issue, he's expected to serve as the Eagles' top left tackle in Week 11.
Mailata (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday. Mailata has missed Philadelphia's last four games after sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 6's win over the Browns. However, the opening of his 21-day practice window Monday suggests he's nearing a return to the field. Mailata now has a chance to play in Sunday's matchup against the Commanders if he's activated to the Eagles' active roster in time.
The Eagles placed Mailata (hamstring) on injured reserve Friday. Mailata was injured in last Sunday's win over the Browns and was initially given a timetable of a "couple weeks" by coach Nick Sirianni. The Eagles' left tackle will now miss a minimum of four contests. He'll be eligible to return in Week 11 versus Washington. Fred Johnson replaced Mailata at left tackle following his injury last week and should get the first crack at serving as Jalen Hurts' blindside protector.
Head coach Nick Sirianni told reports Monday that Mailata will be out "a couple weeks" after sustaining a hamstring injury in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports. It now appears Mailata's hamstring injury is serious enough to sidelined him for the immediate future. Expect Fred Johnson to serve as the Eagles' top left tackle while Mailata recovers from injury.
Mailata will undergo an MRI to evaluate the hamstring injury he sustained during Sunday's game versus the Browns, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Mailata had to be carted off the field in Week 6, so it's possible he's nursing a severe issue. As the Eagles await imaging results, Fred Johnson will prepare with the first team to fill in at tackle.
Mailata (hamstring) was seen using crutches after Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns, Brandon Lee Gowton of Bleedinggreennation.com reports. Mailata was carted off the field after suffering the injury and ruled out for the remainder of the game almost immediately. Details of the injury remain unknown, but it does appear to be on the more serious side. More clarity on a recovery timeline will likely come later in the week.
Mailata suffered a hamstring injury against Cleveland on Sunday and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports. The injury may be pretty serious, as Mailata needed a cart to get off the field and go into the tunnel. With Philadelphia's starting left tackle done for the day, Fred Johnson has the unenviable task of trying to stop Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett.
The Eagles and Mailata agreed to terms Thursday on a three-year, $66 million contract extension Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Mailata becomes one of the NFL's highest-paid left tackles, and will remain under contract for Philadelphia through the 2028 season. Since agreeing to his first extension back in 2021, Mailata has solidified himself as one of the league's best LTs, making his continued presence as the protector of Jalen Hurts' blind side a linchpin of the Eagles offense, especially with the O-line still recovering from Jason Kelce's retirement.
