Career high in tackles Epps had 11 tackles (five solo) in a 33-22 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact Epps stepped into a full-time role playing 100 percent of the snaps with Anthony Harris (hands/groin) unable to play. The third-year pro took advantage of the opportunity, as his 11 tackles marked a career high. The Eagles will travel to Detroit for Week 8, and if Harris is able to return, look for Epps to be relegated to a part-time role.

Will start Week 7 Epps will draw the start in place of Anthony Harris (hands/groin) during Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

Impact Harris was ruled out for Sunday's game after suffering a groin injury that kept him out of Friday's practice. Epps has appeared in every contest for the Eagles this season, but he has mostly operated as the third safety during obvious passing situations. In Week 3, the 25-year-old safety replaced K'Von Wallace (shoulder) and played 61 defensive snaps and recorded four tackles. He will likely see a similar workload during his first start of the season Sunday.

Racks up eight stops Epps had eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.

Impact Epss was busy as a run stopper despite playing just 29 percent of defensive snaps. As he's been mostly limited to a depth role, Epps shouldn't be considered as a viable IDP option except in exceptionally deep formats.

Clears concussion protocol Epps is active for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the 49ers.

Impact Epps entered concussion protocol immediately after the Eagles' Week 1 victory against the Falcons. However, he apparently passed all required medical tests and will likely step into a significant role with Rodney McLeod (knee) inactive once again.

Enters concussion protocol Monday Epps entered concussion protocol Monday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Impact Epps suffered a concussion during Sunday's contest against the Falcons. He will have to clear league protocols for head injuries before he can suit up again. Anthony Harris and K'Von Wallace both saw increased action Sunday and will be in line for more snaps in Week 2 if Epps remains sidelined.

Not returning Sunday Epps (concussion) will miss the remainder of Sunday's game against the Falcons, according to Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Impact Epps suffered a concussion and hasn't been cleared to return, and this causes a big problem for the Eagles' secondary since they don't have Rodney McLeod available, either. This means Anthony Harris and probably K'Von Wallace will be tasked with bigger roles the rest of the way.

Starting against Atlanta Epps will be starting at safety Sunday against the Falcons, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Impact Epps will get the starting nod at safety over Rodney McLeod, but that isn't all that surprising considering he ended the 2020 season in a starting role as well. The former Wyoming standout managed 47 tackles (35 solo), four defended passes and two interceptions across 14 games in 2020.

Ends year as starter Epps managed 47 tackles (35 solo), four defensed passes and two interceptions across 14 games in 2020.

Impact Epps started four games in 2020, including the Eagles' last three contests, as the team spent much of the season moving pieces in the secondary while trying to find a working arrangement. The 25-year-old remains under contract with the team for two more seasons, and he could be in the mix to compete for a starting gig this offseason.

Cleared from COVID exempt list Epps was activated from the Eagles' COVID-19 exempt list Friday, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Epps spent 13 days on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he's been cleared for a crucial Week 11 road trip to Cleveland. With seven appearances and two starts to his name, the Wyoming product has recorded 19 tackles and one pass deflection in 2020. His defensive role has been inconsistent week-to-week, but with both starting safeties Jalen Mills and Rodney McLeod in line to play, Epps will likely be deployed as a rotational contributor in the secondary against the Browns.

Activated by Eagles Philadelphia activated Epps off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Epps tested positive for the virus Nov. 5, so the fact that he was fully cleared is a positive sign. Epps is currently on an exempt list, so the Eagles will need to clear roster space in order for the Wyoming product to return to the field.

Impact Epps was forced to miss his first game of the season last week against Baltimore due to the rib injury but appears back to full health. The fact that the Wyoming product will play is a positive sign for the depth at safety for the Eagles, especially considering K'Von Wallace (shoulder) was already ruled out for the contest.
