Blankenship logged eight total tackles and one interception during Friday night's 34-29 win over the Packers. Blankenship picked off Jordan Love during the third quarter of Friday night's affair, leading to a touchdown for the Eagles. The third-year safety also ranked second on Philadelphia in total tackles (eight), trailing only Zack Baun, who logged a 15-tackle effort. Blankenship was all over the field in Week 1, and he's expected to continue making plays in the Eagles' secondary as the team takes on the Falcons on Monday night.
Blankenship had surgery to repair a groin injury suffered Week 18 against the Giants and is, "pretty much 100% back to normal," Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports. Blankenship signed a one-year extension with the Eagles on Monday, after a 2023 campaign that saw him record 113 combined tackles, which led the team, despite playing just 15 regular-season games. The 25-year-old stated, "It feels good now not being as sore anymore like I did this past season dealing with it," possibly insinuating the injury was effecting him before his early exit in Week 18. A healthy Blankenship should be good news for the Eagles secondary in 2024.
The Eagles signed Blankenship (groin) to a one-year contract extension Monday. Blankenship led Philadelphia in tackles (113 total, 79 solo) and interceptions (three) last season while suiting up for 15 regular-season games, so it makes complete sense for the team to extend him through 2025. A groin injury kept Blankenship from suiting up for the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, but given that his status for that contest came down to the wire, the safety should be fully healthy for the start of offseason workouts.
