E.J. Jenkins

How our call moved this week

• our call, P(plays)

94% EXPECTED → 89% EXPECTED

Every call we wrote for him this week, earliest first, as written.

In short

E.J. Jenkins is in the rotation at tight end for PHI — 33% of the snaps in his best week of 6. He has a toe injury. This week he practised limited, then practised in full. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 89%, in a band that plays 96% of the time. We have said PLAY since 78 hours before kickoff.

The reader concurs · grade B

Jenkins is listed only as a LIMITED participant on both the Wednesday and Thursday club reports with no ruled-out or designation language attached (P2, P1), and the dossier's Friday FULL completes an improving week, which is consistent with the PLAY call. He is one of only three tight ends on the active roster (P3), so the depth picture argues for availability rather than a scratch. The live counterweight is that Calcaterra and Stowers are both practicing on returning-from-IR windows with a Saturday 4:00 PM activation deadline (P2, P1) and Ertz sits on the practice squad out of elevations (P3) — any of those moves could make Jenkins a healthy inactive, but nothing written says it has happened, so the call stands. It would need to know: Saturday 17 Oct official game-status designation for E.J. Jenkins (Out/Doubtful/Questionable/none); Whether Grant Calcaterra and/or Eli Stowers were activated from IR by the Saturday 4:00 PM Eastern deadline (P2 notes the window opened 14 Oct); Whether Zach Ertz was signed from the practice squad to the active roster, which would add a fourth TE ahead of Jenkins (P3); Any coach or beat remark on Jenkins' toe or his expected special-teams/game-day role for the 18 Oct game
