Eagles' Reed Blankenship: 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.
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.

Eagles' Reed Blankenship: Career-best effort in loss
Blankenship recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Saturday's 40-34 loss to the Cowboys.
With fellow safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) unavailable yet again this past weekend, Blankenship was able to log career highs in both snaps played (69) and stops (eight) Saturday in Dallas. However, now that Gardner-Johnson has been sidelined on injured reserve for each of Philadelphia's last four matchups, he'll be eligible to suit up versus New Orleans on New Year's Day following an elevation to the team's active roster, which would ultimately result in a possible deduction in usage for Blankenship.

Eagles' Reed Blankenship: Won't play Sunday
Blankenship (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Bears.
Blankenship suffered a low-grade knee sprain during the Eagles' blowout win over the Giants in Week 14, and while the initial diagnosis was seen as a positive, the starting safety will still be sidelined for at least one game. In his absence, K'Von Wallace will presumably take over as the team's top free safety.

Eagles' Reed Blankenship: Suffers knee sprain
Blankenship sustained a low-grade knee sprain in Sunday's 48-22 win over the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
After Blankenship appeared to sustain a significant lower-leg injury in the win Sunday, the Eagles received positive news Monday when it was determined that the safety suffered a knee sprain, an injury that is only expected to sideline him for a short period of time. The 23-year-old is not expected to be a candidate for injured reserve, making it very likely he returns to the field before the conclusion of the regular season. In Blankenship's absence, K'Von Wallace could take over as the starting free safety for the time being.

Eagles' Reed Blankenship: Questionable to return Sunday
Blankenship departed Sunday's game against the Giants with an apparent leg injury, Bo Wulf of The Athletic reports.
With C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) already sidelined for Week 14, K'Von Wallace has replaced Blankenship at safety for the time being. It's unclear whether the 23-year-old will be able to return for the rest of the afternoon.
