The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and ultimate official damage report on Friday prematurely of their Week 17 sport towards the Arizona Cardinals.
The large information is that Avonte Maddox goes to play.
The Eagles’ high nickel cornerback was listed and not using a sport standing after absolutely collaborating in observe for the second week in a row. Maddox suffered what was initially considered a season-ending pectoral damage in Week 2. The protection might stand to learn from his return, though he may be on a restricted snap rely whereas he will get re-acclimated to sport velocity. The Eagles have been no stranger to rotating defensive backs once they’ve been wholesome anyway.
Landon Dickerson and Nicholas Morrow are additionally listed with out sport statuses.
Dickerson missed Week 16 after having surgical procedure on his thumb. He absolutely participated in observe all week so he’ll be prepared to begin at left guard. Sua Opeta will head again to the bench.
Morrow will play regardless of being restricted in observe this week. He may begin subsequent to Shaq Leonard with Ben VanSumeren doubtlessly rotating in.
Zach Cunningham and Albert Okwuegbunam are QUESTIONABLE.
Cunningham was a restricted participant in observe all week. He may be a game-time resolution. The guess right here is that the Eagles will maintain him out another sport however we’ll see when inactives are introduced at 11:30 AM Jap on Sunday morning. If the Eagles aren’t anticipating to have Cunningham (or they wish to be ready simply in case), they might look to briefly elevate Brandon Smith from the observe squad once more for this sport. They’ve till 4:00 PM Jap on Saturday to make that decision.
Albert O is a model new addition to the damage report as a consequence of a hamstring damage. With the Eagles needing to open a roster spot to activate Maddox from injured reserve, they might look to place Albert O on IR. Gee, what a coincidence!
Darius Slay is OUT.
Slay hasn’t practiced since present process arthroscopic knee surgical procedure. And so he’ll miss his third straight sport. It was beforehand reported that Slay will return earlier than the tip of the common season. So, maybe he’ll be again on the market in Week 18? In any other case, we received’t see him till the primary playoff sport.
