Eagles Identified as Potential Suitor for Jordan Mailata Replacement

The Philadelphia Eagles are 3-2 in 2024 and picked up a 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns last week. They came out of the bye and made some tweaks that led to a victory.

Even though they secured the win, it wasn't all positive for the Birds. Dallas Goedert and Jordan Mailata both suffered hamstring injuries. They have already been ruled out for Week 7 but Mailata's injury appears to be more serious.

He was placed on injured reserve and is now going to miss the next four games at a minimum. The trade deadline is on Nov. 5 and teams around the league will be making moves.

Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox released an article with several players on the trade block entering Week 7. He had Jacksonville Jaguars' OT Walker Little on the list and named the Eagles as potential suitors.

Little has a strong punch and has good lateral quickness out of his stance. In his career, the Stanford product has started in 11 games.

The Eagles have Fred Johnson stepping in for Mailata in the meantime. Johnson has played in 124 offensive snaps this season but has struggled in limited action. He's allowed 18 total pressures with two penalties, two hits allowed, and two sacks given up.

Meanwhile, Little has played in 1,149 offensive snaps, giving up six total sacks in his career. With Mailata only out for a couple of weeks, the Eagles may just ride it out with Johnson. If they did want an upgrade for a Day 3 draft pick, Little could that guy.
