Mailata (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday.
Mailata has missed Philadelphia's last four games after sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 6's win over the Browns. However, the opening of his 21-day practice window Monday suggests he's nearing a return to the field. Mailata now has a chance to play in Thursday night's matchup against the Commanders if he's able to prove his health on the short week of practice.
