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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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).

Blankenship (groin) did not participate at practice Thursday.

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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 among safeties in the league.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.
