The Eagles announced three roster moves on Saturday, activating star defensive tackle Jordan Davis from injured reserve in time for a huge matchup against the Titans.
Philadelphia also elevated linebacker Christian Elliss from the practice squad and placed star safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on injured reserve.

Out since Week 8, Davis will reinforce the Eagles’ run defense in his return.
In seven games, with five starts, Davis has logged 14 total tackles, with 8 solo stops, 4 quarterback pressures, and a pass defended playing 33 percent of the defensive snaps (154 total snaps) in those contests.
Philadelphia now has six defensive tackles on the 53-man roster – Davis, Fletcher Cox, Javon Hargrave, Ndamukong Suh, Linval Joseph, and Milton Williams.
With Robert Quinn out with a knee injury, Milton Williams or Fletcher Cox could slide down to the defensive end.

To make room for Davis on the active roster, the Eagles placed safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Injured Reserve.
Johnson, the NFL’s interception leader (6), suffered a lacerated kidney and rib injury in Sunday night’s win over Green Bay and will miss at least the next four games and will be eligible to return for the January 1 game against New Orleans – his former team – at Lincoln Financial Field.
