Ready for Week 8
Trotter (ankle) does not carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Trotter sustained an ankle injury during the Eagles' Week 7 win over the Vikings, which prevented him from returning to the contest. He was unable to practice Wednesday but increased his practice participation over the week and has been cleared to play in Week 8 after logging a full practice Friday. Trotter has mostly served on special teams this season, but his presence also gives the Eagles depth at inside linebacker.

Won't return Week 7
Trotter (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Minnesota, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Trotter will not return to Sunday's game due to an ankle injury that he sustained in the first half. He's primarily been used on special teams this season, but his loss means the Eagles will have less depth at inside linebacker the rest of the way.

Exits first half early
Trotter (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Trotter appeared to suffer an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's game and is being evaluated to determine if he can return. The 22-year-old was a depth piece on the defense, playing behind linebackers Jihaad Campbell and Zack Baun.

Logs 25 tackles in 2024
Trotter recorded 25 tackles (nine solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense while appearing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added five stops (four solo) across four postseason games.
ANALYSIS
Trotter played almost exclusively on special teams as a rookie. His only significant playing time on defense came in the 41-7 win against Dallas in Week 17 and the regular-season finale when the Eagles rested the majority of their starters. Meanwhile, veteran linebacker Oren Burks stepped into a starting role after Nakobe Dean suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon in the wild-card win versus the Packers. With Burks and breakout All-Pro inside linebacker Zack Baun both slated to become unrestricted free agents this offseason, Trotter could be in line for more playing time as a sophomore in 2025.

Getting first team reps
Trotter (lower leg) has been sprinkled in with the first team at times this week at the Eagles' training camp, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Trotter appears to have left his lower leg injury behind as he's ramped up activity at training camp. The interior linebacker is likely slotted in as the team's fourth option at his position behind Devin White, Nakobe Dean and Zack Baun, but his first team reps are notable nonetheless.

Carted off during camp
Trotter was carted off during Thursday's practice with a lower leg injury, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie linebacker out of Clemson is thought to be alright despite being carted off the field, as Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Trotter was just dealing with leg cramps. Trotter, a 2024 fifth-round pick, is expected to compete with Devin White and Oren Burks for the Eagles' second inside linebacker spot alongside Nakobe Dean.
