The Eagles activated Jordan Mailata from injured reserve ahead of their Thursday night game against the Washington Commanders.

Mailata, the Eagles’ starting left tackle, had spent the last four weeks on injured reserve while dealing with a hamstring ailment sustained in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. The Eagles opened his 21-day practice window on Monday and listed him as an estimated full participant on each injury report ahead of Thursday’s contest before bringing him back to the active roster.

The Eagles had one open spot on the 53-man roster to assign to Mailata after waiving tight end Jack Stoll, who was claimed by the Miami Dolphins later on Wednesday. Now that he is back on the active roster, the 6-foot-8, 365-pound tackle is available to play against the Commanders.

In addition to Mailata, every player on the active roster is eligible to suit up on Thursday. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was the only player listed as a limited participant on the final injury report, but he did not have a game status.
