X-rays come back negative The X-rays on Blankenship's ribs came back negative Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Impact Blankenship has apparently avoided a major injury after exiting Sunday's loss to the Jets in the third quarter. While this comes as positive news, there is still no timetable on Blankenship's return, and Terrell Edmunds is now the only healthy safety on Philadelphia's roster.

Steps up in 2022 Blankenship appeared in 10 regular-season contests in 2022 and posted 34 tackles, two pass defenses and one interception across 284 defensive snaps.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of Middle Tennessee wasn't part of the Eagles' active roster to start the season, but he eventually carved out a special-teams role and ultimately became a major part of the secondary when C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Avonte Maddox missed time with injuries. Most of Blankenship's regular-season production came during the final six games and started with an interception of Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers during his first extended playing time in Week 12. Blankenship also garnered a major defensive role during the divisional round and NFC Championship Game, totaling 11 tackles and one pass breakup between those contests. Maddox is under contract for two more years, but Johnson is set to become a free agent, so Blankenship may have a clear path to a starting role if Johnson opts to sign elsewhere.
