Hinton (back) is participating during the Eagles' OTAs, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports. On paper, Hinton's length (6-foot-6, 34-inch arms) makes him better suited for work at tackle, but even still, his path to playing time might be clearer inside, given Philadelphia's offensive line personnel otherwise. Hinton figures to be a depth option if he can earn a spot on the 53-man roster for 2026.
Hinton (back) had his 21-day practice window expire Wednesday without being activated from IR, per the NFL's official transactions log. Hinton had practiced in full since having his 21-day practice window opened late November, but the Eagles nonetheless refrained from activating the rookie sixth-round pick to the 53-man roster. As such, Hinton will remain on IR for the rest of the 2025 campaign. He didn't suit up for a single regular-season game.
Hinton (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chargers. Hinton was a full participant in practice during Week 14 prep, but he will remain on injured reserve for at least one more game. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a back injury that caused him to start the season on IR.
