Eagles inactives: Devin White inactive vs. Falcons

Eagles inactives: Devin White inactive vs. Falcons originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

Eagles linebacker Devin White is a healthy scratch against the Falcons on Monday night.

During training camp, White was beat out by Nakobe Dean, who is now the Eagles’ starting middle linebacker. White doesn’t play special teams so he’s not up in this game.

Here’s the full list of inactives:

WR A.J. Brown (hamstring)
QB Tanner McKee
OG Trevor Keegan
LB Devin White
CB Eli Ricks
OL Darian Kinnard
DT Byron Young

Eagles rookie Johnny Wilson (hamstring) is officially active for tonight’s game against the Falcons.

Wilson popped up on the injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury of his own. Wilson was listed as questionable but is officially active for the Falcons game.

That’s good news because the Eagles are already without their top receiver.

Pro Bowler A.J. Brown (hamstring) was downgraded to out on Sunday afternoon after previously being listed as questionable. He suffered his injury during Friday’s practice and missed Saturday.

During training camp, White was beat out by Nakobe Dean, who is now the Eagles’ starting middle linebacker. White doesn’t play special teams so he’s not up in this game.

The Eagles made a flurry of roster moves on Monday afternoon. They signed OL Nick Gates to the active roster and waived LB Patrick Johnson. They also elevated WR Parris Campbell and TE E.J. Jenkins. Gates, Campbell and Jenkins are all active for this game.

Without Johnson, rookie third-round pick DE Jalyx Hunt is active for the first time in his NFL career after he was down last week. Hunt should play a significant role on special teams.

Without Brown in this game, the Eagles’ top two receivers will be Smith and Dotson. Smith would be a No. 1 wideout on a bunch of NFL teams but he’s No. 2 with the Eagles behind Brown. But Smith was great in the clutch last week against the Packers and is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

The guy who will really need to step…
