C.J. Uzomah - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Won't play in Super Bowl LIX The Eagles did not activate Uzomah (abdomen) from injured reserve and he will not play in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs on Sunday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Uzomah was a full participant in practice all week, but he will observe Sunday's game from the sidelines. The veteran tight end was signed to the Eagles' practice squad in early October before being signed to the active roster Dec. 4. Uzomah suffered an abdominal injury in Week 17 against the Cowboys, which was severe enough for him to be placed on IR. He did not record a target across the seven regular-season games he played in 2024.

Questionable for Super Bowl Uzomah (abdomen), who remains on IR, practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.

Impact Uzomah continues to practice in full, a sign that he's healthy enough to contribute during the Super Bowl, but the Eagles will need to officially activate Uzomah to the 53-man roster by Saturday's deadline in order for him to compete versus Kansas City. If Uzomah is brought to the active roster in time to suit up Sunday, he'll contribute behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra at the tight end position.

FP in Wednesday's practice Uzomah (abdomen) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Uzomah suffered an abdominal injury during the Eagles' Week 17 win over the Cowboys. The injury was severe enough for the veteran tight end to be placed on injured reserve, which forced him to miss the Eagles' first three playoff games. Uzomah's ability to practice in full Wednesday is a sign that he is near full health, and he could be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl LIX clash against Kansas City.

Questionable for Super Bowl Uzomah (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 against the Chiefs.

Impact Uzomah remains on injured reserve and has been out since Jan. 1 after being injured in Week 17. Uzomah played 132 offensive snaps during the regular season but didn't draw a single target in the passing game. He'll get another chance to practice next week ahead of the Super Bowl.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Uzomah, who suffered an abdominal injury during Week 17 action, will thus have an opportunity to resume practicing ahead of the Eagles' Feb. 9 contest against the Chiefs. If Uzomah is activated ahead of the Super Bowl, he'd bolster the depth of a Philadelphia tight end corps that's currently led by Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra. Prior to his injury, Uzomah was not targeted during the seven regular-season games that he played in.

Placed on IR Uzomah was placed on injured reserve by the Eagles on Wednesday.

Back to practice squad Uzomah reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Uzomah played 33 snaps (20 on offense, 13 on special teams) during the Eagles' 24-19 win over the Ravens on Sunday. Uzomah has reached the three-game maximum of elevations from the practice squad, but he could be signed to the Eagles' active roster if Dallas Goedert is placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury he suffered in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. If Goedert does get placed on IR and Uzomah is signed to the active roster, the latter would be slated to serve as the Eagles' No. 2 tight end behind Grant Calcaterra.

Expected to go on IR Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Uzomah (knee) will go on injured reserve.

Impact Uzomah sprained his MCL in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. Once he's officially placed on injured reserve, Uzomah will be sidelined for a minimum of four weeks, so he won't be eligible to play before Week 18 against the Patriots. Tyler Conklin and Jeremy Ruckert had already been working ahead of Uzomah and will remain New York's top two tight ends.
