The Philadelphia Eagles have reinstated wide receiver Quez Watkins to their active roster after his stint on injured reserve, the team announced on Saturday. Watkins, a former standout at Athens High School in Alabama, had been sidelined for the past five games due to a hamstring injury. He had previously missed two games earlier in the season due to the same injury. Despite his limited appearances in 2023, Watkins had shown promise in previous seasons with the Eagles, recording 76 receptions for 1,001 yards and four touchdowns. During Watkins' absence, the Eagles signed another former Alabama high school standout, Julio Jones. Jones has contributed four receptions for 16 yards and one touchdown in four games. As the Eagles prepare to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Watkins' return provides a boost to their receiving corps and adds depth to the team's roster. The Eagles may opt to ease Watkins back into action, with Julio Jones and Olamide Zaccheaus also vying for playing time behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
