Eagles' Marlon Tuipulotu: Full participant Wednesday
Rotowire
Tuipulotu (triceps) was listed as a full participant for Philadelphia's walk-through Wednesday.
Tuipulotu has missed the past two weeks with a triceps injury but is now trending toward making his return. The 24-year-old could be in line for more playing time versus the Dolphins on Sunday with both Jalen Carter (ankle) and Milton Williams (ankle) dealing with injuries.
Tuipulotu (triceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Tuipulotu did not practice Friday due to a triceps issue, and he's since been ruled out of Sunday's contest. The 24-year-old serves as a rotational defensive lineman for Philadelphia, and his role will likely be filled by Kentavius Street and Moro Ojomo this weekend.
Tuipulotu was an active participant at practice Thursday, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Tuipulotu suffered a torn Achilles during a Week 10 loss to the Commanders last year and finished out the season on IR. Now healthy, the 24-year-old should boost the team's defensive line in 2023.
Philadelphia placed Tuipulotu on injured reserve Wednesday with a knee injury.
Tuipulotu presumably picked up the injury during the Eagles' 32-21 loss to the Commanders on Monday. He'll now be forced to miss the next four games after being placed on IR. The losses of Tuipulotu and fellow defensive tackle jordan Davis (ankle) to IR spurred the Eagles to bring aboard veteran Linval Joseph on a one-year deal Wednesday.
