Impact The transaction opens a 21-day window in which Watkins can take part in practices while the Eagles evaluate him for a potential promotion to the 53-man roster. Watkins missed the Eagles' first three games with an upper-body injury, but if the coaching staff is satisfied with where he stands on the health front during practice this week, he could be cleared to make his NFL debut as soon as Sunday in San Francisco. The Eagles are in dire need of another healthy body at receiver with all of Alshon Jeffery (foot), DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Jalen Reagor (thumb) at risk of sitting out Week 4, in addition to the absence of tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle).
