The #Eagles protected S Elijah Riley, WR John Hightower, RB Jordan Howard and OT Le’Raven Clark on the practice squad this week, which gives an indication that two of the four will get the bump to the game day roster this weekend.

The Eagles and Falcons will meet in the regular-season opener for both team’s and Mike Kaye of NJ.com is reporting that Jordan Howard is among four players being protected from the practice squad.
Joining Howard are safety Elijah Riley, offensive tackle Le’Raven Clark, and speedy wideout, John Hightower.
Howard is the best pass protector on the roster at the running back position and could be an option for a callup, while Riley and Hightower both offer special teams reps as well.
Clark would be the fifth tackle if added to the active roster.
