The Eagles have just two fully-healthy safeties on the active 53-man roster in Reed Blankenship and Terrell Edmunds.
“We’re ready to go,” coach Nick Sirianni said before Friday’s practice. “We have good depth here, guys that are multi-purpose throughout the secondary, so we feel like we have a good plan that we’ve been getting ready for all week with practice.”
“We look at this as a 69-man roster not a 53-man roster, so he’s done a really good job,” Sirianni said of McCollum. “We keep guys around that we can develop and that can also be ready to step in and play if their number is called. We’re confident in him if his number is called that he can come in and do an effective job.”
Wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is likely to see increased snaps on offense in the slot in Watkins’ place, just as he did against the Buccaneers. Zaccheaus ranked second on the team in receiving yards last week, registering two catches for 58 yards and a touchdown, the first of his Eagles career.D’Andre Swift and Olamide Zaccheaus are old St. Joe’s Prep teammates jump-starting the Eagles offense
