Heads to injured reserve Riley (biceps) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Impact Riley is slated to miss a second straight game, and his third of the season, as a result of Friday's transaction. The 26-year-old started eight times for the Eagles this season after garnering zero starts over a collective 16 appearances last season between Atlanta and Philadelphia. Riley closes out 2020 with 55 tackles, half a sack, an interception and one forced fumble, and his rookie contract is set to expire in March.

Ruled out Sunday Riley (biceps) was ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Riley saw plenty of snaps over the past several weeks, but he's now dealing with a biceps issue that will sideline him for the Eagles' Week 16 tilt. With Riley out, Shaun Bradley and Joe Bachie could see increased work for Philadelphia.

On track for Thursday night Coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that he expects Riley (ribs) to suit up against the Giants on Thursday, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.
Impact Riley was limited in Wednesday's practice, but he doesn't carry an injury designation for Thursday's divisional affair. The 26-year-old can be considered fully on track to reclaim his usual starting role in the Eagles' linebacker corps.

Limited on practice estimate Riley (ribs) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Impact This is Riley's second straight day being listed as a limited participant after he didn't practice at all last week. The 26-year-old has a decent chance to play Thursday against the Giants, although it's tough to have a clear grasp of his progress because the Eagles haven't held a practice this week. If Riley is unable to play, expect Shaun Bradley to fill in at middle linebacker.

Won't face Ravens Riley (ribs) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Baltimore.
Impact Riley wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week, so his lack of availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. In his stead, Davion Taylor and Alex Singleton are candidates to step into a notable defensive role for Philadelphia.

Sitting out Wednesday Riley (ribs) was a nonparticipant during Wednesday's practice.
Impact Riley was all over the football in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh, making a team-high 13 tackles and a forced fumble. It's unclear when the LSU product suffered the injury, but if he's forced to miss Week 6, Davion Taylor or Alex Singleton could step into a prominent IDP role for the Eagles at linebacker.

Nose for football in Week 5 loss Riley amassed a team-high 13 tackles, including one tackle for loss and one forced fumble during Sunday's 38-29 defeat to Pittsburgh.
Impact The 2017 third-round pick had registered two starts and a total of 160 defensive snaps Weeks 1 through 4, but he never eclipsed six tackles in any of those contests. Riley forced a pivotal Eric Ebron fumble in the fourth quarter Sunday, but kicker Jake Elliott was unable to bury a subsequent go-ahead field-goal attempt with 3:18 remaining in regulation. The Eagles match up next against a Ravens offense that is coming off a 161-yard team rushing performance from its Week 5 win over Cincinnati.

Returns to practice Riley (illness) practiced with the team Tuesday, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Impact Riley missed Monday's practice, but he recovered quickly and rejoined the ongoing competition for a starting outside linebacker job. The 2017 third-round pick mainly played on special teams with the Eagles last season, but he has a 60-tackle season on his resume from his time with the Falcons in 2018. That gives him a realistic shot at securing a job opposite Nate Gerry, but he'll need to beat out Alex Singleton, Davion Taylor and Shaun Bradley.

Dealing with ailment Riley (illness) didn't participate in Monday's practice, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Both the severity and length of absence remain unclear due to the illness for the linebacker. The 26-year-old saw action in 12 games with the Eagles in 2019, primarily on special teams, and is likely to perform in that same capacity when healthy for the team in 2020.

Eyeing starting job Riley, already a special teams ace, could potentially add starting linebacker to his resume, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact Riley was acquired by the Eagles in a trade last September. He quickly made an impression on special teams and was eventually named special teams captain for the team's playoff loss in January. With Jatavis Brown retiring, the 26-year-old is also now expected to compete for the third starting linebacker job aside Nate Gerry and T.J. Edwards. His competition figures to include Alex Singleton, Davion Taylor and Shaun Bradley.
