Eagles release “estimated” injury report in advance of Panthers game

The Philadelphia Eagles released their first injury report on Monday in advance of their Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. Note that the Eagles held a walkthrough today. This practice report is an estimation.

Three players did not practice: starting cornerback Ronald Darby, starting right tackle Lane Johnson, and running back Wendell Smallwood. Darby could be a week or so away from returning. Johnson suffered a concussion and is unlikely to play on Thursday. Smallwood not practicing on Monday doesn’t seem like a good sign for his playing chances. The Eagles will likely be relying on the trio of LeGarrette Blount, Corey Clement, and Kenjon Barner yet again.

Four players were limited: starting defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, defensive tackle Beau Allen, defensive tackle Destiny Vaeao, and defensive end Chris Long. It seems like a positive sign that Cox was limited considering he’s been out since getting hurt in Week 3. Maybe he has a chance to play in this week’s game. The Eagles’ defense could sure use him.

Four players were full participants in practice: starting safety Rodney McLeod, starting linebacker Jordan Hicks, safety Corey Graham, and safety Jaylen Watkins. No concerns here. It’s a little interesting how Watkins fully participated all last week but was listed questionable and did not play in Week 5. Maybe he’ll be back this week.
