The Eagles announced two roster moves on Saturday before Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Philadelphia elevated fullback Khari Blasingame from the practice squad for Sunday’s game. The sixth-year veteran was signed to the practice squad on December 3 following the season-ending injury to linebacker Ben VanSumeren, who had carved out a role on the offense as a fullback.
Blasingame was elevated for the Week 14 win over the Panthers. In his Eagles debut, Blasingame played 15 snaps on special teams and another on offense.

The team downgraded rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson to questionable with an illness. Wilson was added to the injury report on Friday with an illness. He did not participate in practice but had no game status designation.
Wilson has two catches for 14 yards and a touchdown in his rookie campaign.
The Eagles will be without wide receiver/punt returner Britain Covey, who is out with a neck injury. Covey and Wilson are the only players on the active roster with game status designations entering Sunday, meaning that every other player is good to go.
