The Eagles are back in action at Lincoln Financial Field for a 4:25 PM clash with the Steelers.
The Eagles will have safeties Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown back in the lineup this week. Blankenship missed last week's game with a concussion he suffered against the Ravens. Brown has been out with a knee injury.
"It feels great to be back. Feels like I haven't played football in forever. The process of having a concussion is tough. Luckily mine was mild, but still had symptoms throughout last week. Towards the end of last week felt a lot better. Unfortunately, I had to watch it from home because I couldn't be around a bunch of noise. I just hated not being able to be out there with them," Blankenship said earlier in the week. "It's going to be tough against the Steelers, but we're ready for it and we're excited for the challenge."
Wide receiver/punt returner Britain Covey was ruled out on Friday with a neck injury he suffered against Baltimore.
Wide receiver Johnny Wilson, who was downgraded to questionable on Saturday with an illness, will be active for today's game.
Fullback Khari Blasingame was elevated from the practice squad for today's game.

Britain Covey | WR
Nick Gates | OL
Trevor Keegan | G
Darian Kinnard | T/G
Tanner McKee | 3rd QB
