Jordan Davis is returning to the Eagles lineup and he’ll be in even better condition after rehabbing a high ankle injury.
Out of the lineup since Week 8, Davis told Josh Tolentino of The Inquirer that he lost 20 pounds while on injured reserve, putting an increased focus on his conditioning.

The added athleticism should make the monstrous defensive tackle that much more efficient.
The former Georiga All-American had played in all seven games before then, starting five.
Davis has totaled 14 tackles since his NFL debut while being the main cog in the Philadelphia defensive front that should be dominant with Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh also in the lineup.
