The Philadelphia Eagles shored up their QB room on Saturday by acquiring Gardner Minshew to back up Jalen Hurts.AUGUST 28, 2021
Denzel Mims - Sits out final preseason gameMims (undisclosed) did not play in Friday's preseason game against Philadelphia.
ImpactMims' undisclosed injury from Aug. 19 hasn't resolved itself yet, but it was believed to be a manageable injury at the time. Perhaps Mims can get back into practice soon and jumpstart his pursuit of a meaningful role in the Jets offense, but an offseason littered with difficulties likely has him behind all of Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder, Elijah Moore and Keelan Cole for the time being. The Jets play Carolina in Week 1.

Dallas Goedert - Sits out preseason finaleGoedert did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Jets.
ImpactGoedert wasn't injured -- the Eagles just chose to give him the day off. Even with Zach Ertz still in town, the general expectation is that Goedert will take the lead in Philadelphia's tight end rotation this year, so the team needs him ready to make a leading contribution against Atlanta in Week 1.

Jordan Howard - Closing in on roster spotHoward did not play in Friday's preseason contest, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ImpactIt's telling the team chose not to play Howard at all considering his tenuous spot on the roster just weeks prior. It appears the release of Kerryon Johnson (knee) essentially secured the veteran's spot by default, with both Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell also slotting in behind starter Miles Sanders.

Josiah Scott - Doesn't return to Friday's contestScott didn't return after suffering a hamstring injury during Friday's preseason contest against the Jets, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ImpactScott was acquired by the Eagles via trade this offseason to compete for a depth role in their secondary. As a rookie, the fourth-round pick recorded 11 tackles while playing 80 defensive snaps in six appearances for Jacksonville last season. The extent of the 22-year-old's injury is unknown, but if he misses too much time his spot on the roster is in jeopardy.
