News

  • Next Gen Stats

    Reed Blankenship has forced a TW on 24.1% of targets this season (6th among safeties, min. 20 targets)

    Updated Thu, Jan 4 at 8:51am
  • Underwent successful surgery

    Blankenship is fully recovered from surgery to repair a groin injury that he suffered Week 18, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Blankenship signed a one-year extension with the Eagles on Monday after a 2023 campaign that saw him record a team-leading 113 combined tackles despite playing just 15 regular-season games. "It feels good now not being as sore anymore like I did this past season dealing with it," the safety said Tuesday, insinuating the injury was affecting him before his Week 18 exit. A healthy Blankenship should be a key piece of the Eagles secondary in 2024.

  • Gets one-year extension

    The Eagles signed Blankenship (groin) to a one-year contract extension Monday.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Leads team in tackles and picks

    Blankenship (groin) appeared in 15 regular-season games this season, leading the Eagles in interceptions (three), solo tackles (79) and total tackles (113).

    Analysis: The second-year pro took a big step forward from a rookie season that saw him record just 34 tackles in 10 games, four of which were starts. The former undrafted free agent is now a key part of the Eagles defense and should remain one next season, as the groin injury that caused him to miss the team's wild-card loss shouldn't be a long-lasting problem given that he was listed as questionable leading up to the game.

  • Will miss wild-card game

    Blankenship (groin) is inactive for Monday's wild-card contest against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Blankenship was hurt during Philadelphia's season finale against the Giants and wasn't able to practice at all leading up to Monday's contest. He was still given a designation of questionable after the team's final practice session, but he's ultimately been deemed unable to suit up. Sydney Brown tore his ACL in Week 18 and is done for the season, so Avonte Maddox is sliding over from cornerback to start at safety.

  • Could suit up vs. Buccaneers

    Blankenship (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's game against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Blankenship sustained a groin injury in the Eagles' regular-season finale -- despite a week of no practice participation, he's got a shot at playing Monday night. If the 24-year-old is unable to play in Philadelphia's wild-card affair, it would leave Kevin Byard as the only available safety on the team's active roster (barring any signings or practice squad elevations).

  • Misses practice Thursday

    Blankenship (groin) did not participate at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Blankenship was forced out of Sunday's loss against the Giants by a groin injury, and that issue is now also holding him out of the Eagles' first practice of wild-card week. He'll probably need to practice in some capacity Friday or Saturday to have a chance to play Monday.

  • Will not return Week 18

    Blankenship will not return to Sunday's tilt against the Giants due to a groin injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The seriousness of Blankenship's groin injury is not clear at this point in time. With Sydney Brown (knee) knocked out of the game, Tristin McCollum is the only other healthy safety to play alongside Kevin Byard at the moment.

  • Registers 11 tackles in loss

    Blankeship tallied 11 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Blankenship was one of three Eagles defenders to finish with double-digit tackles Sunday. He played 69 snaps on defense, his most since Week 12 against the Bills when he played all 92 defensive snaps. Blankenship has 108 tackles (74 solo) over 14 games this season, which is the ninth-highest total among safeties in the league.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Blankenship (concussion) does not have an injury designation heading into Monday's Week 15 game against Seattle, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Blankenship was evaluated for a concussion during last Sunday's loss to Dallas and wasn't able to return to the game. However, he followed a limited practice Thursday with a full session both Friday and Saturday and has been able to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol. Consequently, Blankenship will be able to suit up on Monday Night Football against the Seahawks, and he'll presumably resume his every-down role.

  • Logs full practice Friday

    Blankenship (concussion) was a full participant in practice Friday.

    Analysis: Blankenship exited last Sunday's game against Dallas and didn't return after being evaluated for a concussion. He hasn't yet passed through the league's five-step concussion protocol, but it's a good sign for his chances of playing Monday night that he followed Thursday's limited practice session with a full session Friday. Assuming he clears protocol in time, Blankenship should be set to resume his every-down role against the Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

  • Practices Thursday

    Blankenship (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: The safety suffered a concussion during the Eagles' Week 14 loss to the Cowboys and had to exit the game in the first half. Blankenship appears on track to return for Philadelphia's Week 15 matchup with the Seahawks. The second-year pro has 84 tackles, 10 passes defensed, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in 2023.

  • Ruled out due to concussion

    Blankenship (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Dallas.

    Analysis: Blankenship was evaluated for a concussion in the first half prior to being ruled out at halftime. He will have to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before returning to game action. Blankenship will have one extra day to recover before the Eagles travel to Seattle for Monday Night Football in Week 15.

  • Getting tested for concussion

    Blankenship (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Blankenship went to the medical tent following a tackle on tight end Jake Ferguson. Blankenship had three tackles before heading to the sideline and has been replaced by Sydney Brown.

  • Posts double-digit tackle total

    Blankenship recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win versus the Bills.

    Analysis: Blakenship's tackle total was his best since Week 1 at New England (12), but it was somewhat predictable given he played a whopping 92 defensive snaps in Week 12. Either way, he's been a tackling machine as a defensive back for Philadelphia in his sophomore season, and he's a great IDP option at that position for Week 13 versus the 49ers.

  • Snatches interception in win

    Blankenship recorded nine tackles (seven solo) while intercepting a pass and deflecting another in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Commanders.

    Analysis: Blankenship was able to snag his second interception of the year, picking off Sam Howell in the fourth quarter. The safety has now compiled 48 tackles, eight pass deflections and two interceptions over six games this season.

  • Estimated as full participant

    Blankenship (ribs) was listed as a full participant on Philadelphia's practice estimate Wednesday.

    Analysis: Blankenship was sidelined for Sunday's game versus Miami with an injury to his ribs, but it now looks like he'll be ready to go again in Week 8. He should step back into a starting role at safety at Washington.

  • Won't play vs. Miami

    Blankenship (ribs) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Blankenship missed practice all week, and he'll have to sit out at least one game as he recovers from the rib injury he sustained in Week 6 at the Jets. In his place, rookie third-rounder Sydney Brown will likely start at safety Sunday.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Reed (ribs) didn't participate in the Eagles' walkthrough Wednesday.

    Analysis: Blankenship is still recovering from a ribs injury suffered during Sunday's loss to the Jets. A ribs injury also held the 24-year-old out of the team's Week 2 victory versus the Vikings, and if he's unable to play this week, Sydney Brown will start instead.

  • X-rays come back negative

    The X-rays on Blankenship's ribs came back negative Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Blankenship has apparently avoided a major injury after exiting Sunday's loss to the Jets in the third quarter. While this comes as positive news, there is still no timetable on Blankenship's return, and Terrell Edmunds is now the only healthy safety on Philadelphia's roster.

    Published: Mon, Oct 16 at 4:39pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Taken out with injury

    Blankenship has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets due to a rib injury.

    Analysis: Blankenship logged five tackles before heading to the locker room in the third quarter, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia. The exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, leaving his availability up in the air for next week's matchup against Miami on Sunday Night Football. In his absence, the Eagles will be left with just one available safety against the Jets, as Sydney Brown (hamstring) was ruled inactive while Justin Evans (knee) is still on IR.

  • Seven tackles in victory

    Blankenship recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Blankenship has now been able to register at least seven tackles in each of the four games he's been active this season. The safety is now up to 34 tackles, six pass deflections and an interception on the 2023 campaign.

  • Efficient in win

    Blankenship logged eight tackles (four solo) and two passes defended in Sunday's 34-31 overtime win against Washington.

    Analysis: Blankenship had a solid outing versus the Commanders and helped lead Philadelphia to an overtime victory. The 24-year-old has now recorded 15 tackles since returning from a ribs injury that kept him out of the team's Week 2 win over the Vikings and will look to build off of his strong performance this week against the Rams.

  • Active in win

    Blankenship played all 47 defensive snaps and recorded seven tackles and an interception in the Eagles' 25-11 win over the Buccaneers on Monday.

    Analysis: The safety was part of a dominant defensive effort in which Philadelphia held Tampa Bay to 174 total yards and 41 rushing yards. Blankenship missed Week 2 with a rib injury but was also active in Week 1, finishing with 12 tackles and two passes defended.

  • Practices in full Friday

    Blankenship (ribs) was a full participant at practice Friday.

    Analysis: After missing Week 2 with an injury to his ribs, Blankenship has been able to recover quickly enough to suit up in Week 3. He'll resume a starting role at safety Monday at the Buccaneers.

  • Limited at practice Thursday

    Blankenship (ribs) was limited in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Taking over as a full-time starter this season, Blankenship played 98 percent of the snaps in Week 1 and registered 12 tackles and two passes defensed before missing last Thursday night's game against the Vikings. The limited session puts him on track to play Monday night versus Tampa Bay.

  • Won't play vs. Minnesota

    Blankenship (ribs) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Vikings.

    Analysis: It's a big blow to Philadelphia's defense considering Blankenship led the team in tackles (12) in Week 1. The Eagles will eagerly await his return, and in the meantime, 28-year-old Justin Evans should see more opportunities to play at safety.

    Published: Wed, Sep 13 at 1:16pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Dealing with injured ribs

    Blankenship (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate ahead of Thursday's game versus Minnesota.

    Analysis: Blankenship recorded 12 tackles over 76 snaps in Week 1 and didn't miss extended time, so it would be surprising not to see him suit up for Week 2. Nevertheless, Tuesday's injury report should provide clarity regarding his availability.

  • Excels in new role

    Blankenship recorded 12 tackles (nine solo) and two passes defended in a 25-20 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Analysis: Blankenship has officially taken over at free safety this season with the departure of C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Lions and helped prove why he earned that role Sunday. The 12 tackles were a career high for the Middle Tennessee product, who made the team as an undrafted free agent in 2022. He'll work to keep up the production Thursday against the Vikings.

  • Steps up in 2022

    Blankenship appeared in 10 regular-season contests in 2022 and posted 34 tackles, two pass defenses and one interception across 284 defensive snaps.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Middle Tennessee wasn't part of the Eagles' active roster to start the season, but he eventually carved out a special-teams role and ultimately became a major part of the secondary when C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Avonte Maddox missed time with injuries. Most of Blankenship's regular-season production came during the final six games and started with an interception of Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers during his first extended playing time in Week 12. Blankenship also garnered…read more

  • Career-best effort in loss

    Blankenship recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Saturday's 40-34 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: With fellow safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) unavailable yet again this past weekend, Blankenship was able to log career highs in both snaps played (69) and stops (eight) Saturday in Dallas. However, now that Gardner-Johnson has been sidelined on injured reserve for each of Philadelphia's last four matchups, he'll be eligible to suit up versus New Orleans on New Year's Day following an elevation to the team's active roster, which would ultimately result in a possible deduction in usage for…read more

  • Full participant Tuesday

    Blankenship (knee) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Blankenship appears on track to return from a one-game absence following a knee sprain sustained in Week 14. Look for him to resume his role at free safety assuming he avoids any setbacks during the week.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Blankenship (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Bears.

    Analysis: Blankenship suffered a low-grade knee sprain during the Eagles' blowout win over the Giants in Week 14, and while the initial diagnosis was seen as a positive, the starting safety will still be sidelined for at least one game. In his absence, K'Von Wallace will presumably take over as the team's top free safety.

  • Suffers knee sprain

    Blankenship sustained a low-grade knee sprain in Sunday's 48-22 win over the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After Blankenship appeared to sustain a significant lower-leg injury in the win Sunday, the Eagles received positive news Monday when it was determined that the safety suffered a knee sprain, an injury that is only expected to sideline him for a short period of time. The 23-year-old is not expected to be a candidate for injured reserve, making it very likely he returns to the field before the conclusion of the regular season. In Blankenship's absence, K'Von Wallace could take over as the…read more

  • Questionable to return Sunday

    Blankenship departed Sunday's game against the Giants with an apparent leg injury, Bo Wulf of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) already sidelined for Week 14, K'Von Wallace has replaced Blankenship at safety for the time being. It's unclear whether the 23-year-old will be able to return for the rest of the afternoon.

  • Records interception in win

    Blankenship recorded six tackles (three solo) and one interception during Sunday's 40-33 victory versus the Packers.

    Analysis: Blankenship played a season-high 71 percent of Philadelphia's defensive snaps after being inserted for injury starter C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who sustained a lacerated kidney in the first quarter. The undrafted rookie then quickly notched the first interception of his career, as he undercut a pass intended for tight end Tyler Davis early in the second quarter. Blankenship also tied linebacker T.J. Edwards for a team high in tackles despite playing 14 fewer defensive snaps. With Johnson expected…read more
