C.J. Uzomah Elevated to Eagles Roster for Week 13 Against Ravens

Tight end C.J. Uzomah has been elevated from the practice squad to the Philadelphia Eagles‘ active roster for their Week 13 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. This move was made to bolster the Eagles’ tight end depth, with Uzomah serving as the third tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra.

Uzomah’s elevation is part of the Eagles’ preparations to address the absence of several key players. Notably, wide receiver DeVonta Smith will miss his second consecutive game, and cornerback Darius Slay is out due to a concussion. Other significant absences include edge defenders Brandon Graham and Bryce Huff, both of whom are on injured reserve.

The addition of Uzomah provides the Eagles with an experienced tight end who can contribute in various roles. This move is crucial as the Eagles look to exploit the Ravens’ defensive weaknesses, particularly in the passing game, where the Ravens have allowed 277.7 passing yards per game this season.
