Josh Hawkins – Noteworthy – Transaction
CB Josh Hawkins was promoted from the practice squad this week. He has played in 31 career NFL games between the Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers. “Josh is a smart guy,” said head coach Doug Pederson. “He has good speed and quickness. He’s played, obviously. It’s a great opportunity for him to make a couple changes this late just to see a young player, see what you have. Good time to do it.”
Nick Foles – Noteworthy
QB Nick Foles earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors after throwing for a franchise-record 471 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday’s 32-30 win over the Houston Texans.
Timmy Jernigan – Noteworthy
DT Tim Jernigan was activated from the reserve/non-football injury List on Nov. 20, played 20 snaps that week, did not play the following week with back spasms, then was inactive the next two games. He returned against the Texans, though, and made two tackles in 17 snaps. “He’s felt good the last couple of days,” said head coach Doug Pederson. “We’re optimistic that he can handle a little bit more.”
