The Philadelphia Eagles are absolutely reeling right now, with a staggering 24 players listed on their latest injury report. This isn’t just a few bumps and bruises, this is a full-blown roster crisis that has to be making Philly fans sweat.
Six Eagles Didn’t Even Practice, Including Key Offensive Weapons
When you’ve got nearly two dozen guys banged up, it’s bad. But what really stings is when six of those players are straight-up sidelined from practice, and we’re talking about some serious talent. Running back Saquon Barkley is dealing with a hamstring injury that kept him off the field. Then there’s wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who’s battling a hamstring issue *and* a new toe injury. That toe problem is a fresh hit, and it’s coming at a brutal time. Defensive back Michael Carter (abdomen), outside linebacker Jalyx Hunt (knee/ankle), center Drew Kendall (knee), and running back Will Shipley (foot) also didn’t participate. You can’t replace that kind of production easily, and those are huge blows to their game plan.
A Dozen More Limited, Even Jalen Hurts Banged Up
The situation doesn’t get much better looking at the “limited” list, which includes another 11 players. Wide receiver Marquise Brown is nursing an ankle injury, and offensive guard Landon Dickerson has a knee issue. Tight end Grant Calcaterra (back), outside linebacker AJ Epenesa (back), safety Marcus Epps (groin), outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard (ankle), tight end EJ Jenkins (toe), offensive guard Tyler Steen (shoulder), tight end Eli Stowers (quad), and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) were all held back. Even with seven players being full participants, like quarterback Jalen Hurts, who’s got a calf issue, and defensive tackle Jalen Carter with a wrist problem, this is a depth chart that’s got more question marks than exclamation points. Linebacker Zack Baun (shoulder), linebacker Jihaad Campbell (knee/wrist), outside linebacker Arnold Ebiketie (shoulder), offensive tackle Fred Johnson (knee), and safety Andrew Mukuba (shoulder) were the others who managed full participation.
This laundry list of injuries just tells you everything you need to know about the state of this Eagles team. It’s tough out there, and they’re going to need some serious grit to push through with so many key players hurting.
