### Key Eagles Players Back in Action Despite Injuries; Roster Adjustments Loom

Good news emerged from the Philadelphia Eagles camp as two key players, Mekhi Becton and Darius Slay, returned to practice on Wednesday after sustaining injuries in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Slay, who was hurt late in the game following a penalized block by Trevor Penning, and Becton, who tore a ligament in his left ring finger during the first half, were both seen participating actively.

Becton, determined to play, confirmed he will take the field against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, albeit with a cast on his hand for protection. This is reassuring for the team, which faces growing concerns over receiver availability. Britain Covey was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday due to a shoulder injury, leaving Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson as the only healthy wide receivers on the active roster.

Adding to the potential challenges, the Eagles await the status of their star receivers Brown and Smith for the upcoming game. If they remain unavailable, the team will rely heavily on their practice squad. Notable names include Parris Campbell, who has been elevated for the last two games, and John Ross, who rejoined the squad after participating in the previous training camp.

Should Lane Johnson be unable to play on Sunday, Fred Johnson is poised to step in. Having already proven reliable as a substitute against the Saints, Fred is the Eagles' main backup for both tackle positions. On the other hand, Tyler Steen stands ready as a potential right guard if Becton isn't fully fit to play.

Amid these roster adjustments, the Eagles are bracing for their showdown in Tampa, hoping that these key players can navigate through injuries and contribute effectively.
