While the expectation is that the Philadelphia Eagles will be resting their key players against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18, there is one starter who will likely be lining up on Saturday evening: Jason Kelce.
The Eagles activated Kelce from reserve/COVID-19 on Friday. The other 11 players who went on the list on Monday still remain.
Kelce’s activation is significant because his absence would’ve snapped his consecutive regular-season game, which is currently at 121. It’s the longest active streak among NFL centers.
Another reason for Kelce to make an appearance is that it will give him the third-most games (159) played by an offensive lineman in Eagles franchise history, only behind Chuck Bednarik (169) and Tra Thomas (166).
