News

  • Career-high 94 tackles

    Epps finished the regular season with a career-high 94 tackles, including 70 solo.

    Analysis: The 2019 sixth-round pick took a step forward in his fourth professional season. He played nearly every defensive snap after playing just under half the snaps in 2021, setting a career high in tackles, solo tackles (70) and passes defended (six). He also forced a fumble for the first time in his career.

  • Totals eight tackles Week 17

    Epps recorded eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Epps finished with the Eagles' second-most tackles behind linebacker T.J. Edwards (11). The 198-pound safety also continued to play every defensive snap for Philadelphia, and he has now accumulated 91 tackles over 16 games. Epps could have a chance to secure his first 100-tackle season if he posts another prolific performance Week 18 against the Giants.

  • Team's top tackler Week 14

    Epps logged eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 48-22 victory versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Epps logged his most prolific tackling performance since the Eagles' season opener versus Detroit. The strong safety also finished as the team's leading tackler while playing every defensive snap for the 12th time in 13 games. Epps has already accumulated a career high in tackles (70) after stepping up into a full-time role this season, and he should have a chance to notch another productive outing Week 15 versus Chicago.

  • Leading tackler in season opener

    Epps had 10 tackles (eight solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 38-35 win over Detroit.

    Analysis: Neither defense played particularly well, but Epps helped the Eagles do just enough on that side of the ball to pull out a Week 1 road victory. The safety led the team in tackles in the season opener.

  • Healthy again

    Epps (back) was not listed on the Eagles' injury report Wednesday, Sage Hurley of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Epps should be ready to go after missing time this preseason with an unspecified back issue. The fourth-year veteran, who recorded 62 tackles and five passes defended over 16 games with Philadelphia last season, should step back in as the team's starting strong safety in Week 1 against the Lions on Sunday.

  • Battle back issue

    Epps missed practice Tuesday due to a back injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The nature and severity of Epps' injury are not clear. If the issue remains a problem heading into the regular season, K'Von Wallace or Jaquiski Tartt could push for starting safety roles.

  • Could start in 2022

    Epps has a good chance to start alongside Anthony Harris at safety this season, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After losing Rodney McLeod to the Colts this offseason, Philadelphia will need someone to step up as its second starting safety, and it sounds like Epps currently is the favorite to do so. He provided reason to believe he could succeed as a starter last season, racking up 20 tackles over two games when he took over for the injured Harris in Weeks 7 and 8.

  • Returns from COVID list

    Epps was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Epps spent a week in COVID protocols and missed the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Cowboys. Now healthy, Epps should return Sunday against the Buccaneers in a reserve role at safety.

    Published: Mon, Jan 10 at 6:43pm by Rotowire.com

  • Shifts to COVID list

    Epps was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Epps played only 17 defensive snaps during Sunday's win over Washington and is now on the virus list. Starting safety Rodney McLeod also tested positive for COVID, so Epps could step into the starting role if he can clear the protocols before Saturday's matchup with Dallas.

  • Nine tackles in blowout win

    Epps had nine tackles (seven solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 44-6 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Epps was the only Eagles defender to play all 62 defensive snaps, and he finished second on the team in tackles. He has 20 total tackles over the past two games in the absence of Anthony Harris (hand).

  • Career high in tackles

    Epps had 11 tackles (five solo) in a 33-22 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: Epps stepped into a full-time role playing 100 percent of the snaps with Anthony Harris (hands/groin) unable to play. The third-year pro took advantage of the opportunity, as his 11 tackles marked a career high. The Eagles will travel to Detroit for Week 8, and if Harris is able to return, look for Epps to be relegated to a part-time role.

  • Will start Week 7

    Epps will draw the start in place of Anthony Harris (hands/groin) during Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

    Analysis: Harris was ruled out for Sunday's game after suffering a groin injury that kept him out of Friday's practice. Epps has appeared in every contest for the Eagles this season, but he has mostly operated as the third safety during obvious passing situations. In Week 3, the 25-year-old safety replaced K'Von Wallace (shoulder) and played 61 defensive snaps and recorded four tackles. He will likely see a similar workload during his first start of the season Sunday.

  • Racks up eight stops

    Epps had eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Epss was busy as a run stopper despite playing just 29 percent of defensive snaps. As he's been mostly limited to a depth role, Epps shouldn't be considered as a viable IDP option except in exceptionally deep formats.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Epps is active for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Epps entered concussion protocol immediately after the Eagles' Week 1 victory against the Falcons. However, he apparently passed all required medical tests and will likely step into a significant role with Rodney McLeod (knee) inactive once again.

  • Enters concussion protocol Monday

    Epps entered concussion protocol Monday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Epps suffered a concussion during Sunday's contest against the Falcons. He will have to clear league protocols for head injuries before he can suit up again. Anthony Harris and K'Von Wallace both saw increased action Sunday and will be in line for more snaps in Week 2 if Epps remains sidelined.

  • Not returning Sunday

    Epps (concussion) will miss the remainder of Sunday's game against the Falcons, according to Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

    Analysis: Epps suffered a concussion and hasn't been cleared to return, and this causes a big problem for the Eagles' secondary since they don't have Rodney McLeod available, either. This means Anthony Harris and probably K'Von Wallace will be tasked with bigger roles the rest of the way.

  • Starting against Atlanta

    Epps will be starting at safety Sunday against the Falcons, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Epps will get the starting nod at safety over Rodney McLeod, but that isn't all that surprising considering he ended the 2020 season in a starting role as well. The former Wyoming standout managed 47 tackles (35 solo), four defended passes and two interceptions across 14 games in 2020.

  • Ends year as starter

    Epps managed 47 tackles (35 solo), four defensed passes and two interceptions across 14 games in 2020.

    Analysis: Epps started four games in 2020, including the Eagles' last three contests, as the team spent much of the season moving pieces in the secondary while trying to find a working arrangement. The 25-year-old remains under contract with the team for two more seasons, and he could be in the mix to compete for a starting gig this offseason.

  • Logs eight tackles

    Epps recorded eight tackles (seven solo) across 40 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Epps has 15 tackles over the past two contests, as he saw a major bump in reps during that stint. He'll look to finish the season strong Sunday against Washington.

  • Cleared from COVID exempt list

    Epps was activated from the Eagles' COVID-19 exempt list Friday, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Epps spent 13 days on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he's been cleared for a crucial Week 11 road trip to Cleveland. With seven appearances and two starts to his name, the Wyoming product has recorded 19 tackles and one pass deflection in 2020. His defensive role has been inconsistent week-to-week, but with both starting safeties Jalen Mills and Rodney McLeod in line to play, Epps will likely be deployed as a rotational contributor in the secondary against the Browns.

  • Activated by Eagles

    Philadelphia activated Epps off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Epps tested positive for the virus Nov. 5, so the fact that he was fully cleared is a positive sign. Epps is currently on an exempt list, so the Eagles will need to clear roster space in order for the Wyoming product to return to the field.

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Epps tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday and was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Epps is reportedly asymptomatic, as he and the team will enter intensive protocols. The Eagles enter their bye week for Week 9, and Epps will need to turn in at least two negative tests across two days in order to gain clearance to return to the field.

  • Suiting up Thursday

    Epps (rib) upgraded to full practice participation Wednesday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Epps was forced to miss his first game of the season last week against Baltimore due to the rib injury but appears back to full health. The fact that the Wyoming product will play is a positive sign for the depth at safety for the Eagles, especially considering K'Von Wallace (shoulder) was already ruled out for the contest.

  • Sitting out Sunday

    Epps (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Ravens.

    Analysis: Epps has played every game this season, including two starts, but he was unable to practice this week and will watch from the sidelines. The second-year safety has recorded 17 tackles and two pass breakups, and now rookie K'Von Wallace likely will handle more reps with the No. 8 scoring offense coming to town.

  • Back to full health

    Epps (lower body) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Epps dealt with a lower body injury during training camp, but he's shed the issue heading into the regular season. He'll provide the Eagles with a reserve safety option during Sunday's season opener against Washington.

    Published: Wed, Sep 9 at 3:32pm by Rotowire.com

  • Day-to-day

    Epps is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Epps presumably picked up the injury at practice. The severity of the issue is unclear, but a quick return would be advantageous, as he is competing to earn a role providing depth at free safety on the team's final roster. The 24-year-old suited up six times for Philly last season.

  • Scooped by Eagles

    The Eagles claimed Epps off waivers from the Vikings on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The move comes one day after the Vikings plucked Andrew Sendejo off waivers from the Eagles, so the two clubs essentially exchanged safeties. Epps, a rookie sixth-round pick, played predominantly in a special-teams role with the Vikings. However, Sendejo leaves behind a steady workload in Philly, so Epps has the opportunity to compete with Rudy Ford for opportunities on defense.

  • Waived by Vikings

    Epps was waived by Minnesota on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Vikings needed to clear a roster spot after claiming Andrew Sendejo off waivers, and Epps wound up being the unlucky victim. Epps has played sparingly on special teams this season and was inactive last game. If he goes unclaimed, Minnesota may look to add the young safety to its practice squad.
