The Eagles will get back Quez Watkins, who missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. Watkins was a full participant on Friday and is good to go for Sunday.

Linebacker Nicholas Morrow did not practice on Friday for personal reasons, but will play Sunday. Same with starting safety Justin Evans, who was a full participant all week after missing last Sunday’s win with a neck injury.
