The Philadelphia Eagles dropped their final injury report Friday for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, and it’s got some gut punches, especially on defense. Edge rusher Jonathan Greenard is officially OUT, a tough blow for their D-line heading into Sunday.
Greenard OUT: Who Steps Up?
Greenard has been limited all week, so his pectoral injury keeping him out isn’t a total shocker. He’s “super close” to getting back in the game, and we might even see him make his Eagles debut in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears. Until then, the Eagles are rolling with Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, A.J. Epenesa, and Arnold Ebiketie as their top four edge rushers. They’ve gotta bring the heat without him. On the bright side, Cooper DeJean and Jalen Carter are both set to play, which is huge for the defense, even if Carter was limited Friday.
Mukuba’s Surprise Knee Scare & More WR Worries
Here’s where it gets dicey: Safety Andrew Mukuba unexpectedly popped up Thursday with a knee injury and is QUESTIONABLE. He was a limited participant Friday and sounds optimistic, but this could easily be a game-time decision. That’s a huge question mark hanging over the secondary. Plus, wideouts Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore both hit the injury report Friday. Brown’s dealing with a hamstring, Moore a neck injury. Both were full participants and have no game status, but it’s weird. Brown was active Week 1 but didn’t play a single snap, and Moore was a healthy scratch. What’s going on with those guys?
Titans Have Their Own Headaches Ahead of Sunday
It’s not just the Eagles dealing with dings. The Titans have three players QUESTIONABLE for Sunday: starting linebacker Cedric Gray (concussion), starting cornerback Cor’Dale Flott (quad), and backup linebacker James Williams (elbow). Gray was a full participant all week, so it’d be a surprise if he sits. But Flott’s a new addition after getting banged up Friday in practice, meaning the Titans might be down a starting CB on the outside. Williams was limited all week and might not play. This Week 2 matchup is shaping up to be a test of depth for both squads, and every snap is going to count for what’s at stake on Sunday.
