Philadelphia is rolling into Sunday’s matchup against the Titans without edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, who’s officially ruled out. That’s a gut punch for their defense, no doubt about it.
Greenard’s Pectoral Injury Keeps Him Off the Field
This isn’t a new issue, either. Greenard’s been battling a pectoral injury, and even though he got in some limited practice this week, it just wasn’t enough. He’s simply not ready to get back out there. You gotta wonder how long this is gonna keep him on the sideline. For a guy who brings that kind of pressure off the edge, his absence is a major hole the Eagles will have to figure out how to fill against the Titans.
Mixed News on the Eagles’ Injury Report
The Eagles’ injury report isn’t totally clear. Safety Andrew Mukuba is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game due to a knee injury. He didn’t participate in practice on Thursday but was limited on Friday, so maybe there’s a chance, but it’s not looking great. On the brighter side, it seems like Marquise Brown and Elijah Moore, who were both added to the injury report Friday for hamstring and neck issues respectively, are good to go. They were full participants in practice, so expect them on the field. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter with his wrist issue and defensive back Cooper DeJean battling calf and abdomen problems are also expected to play with no game status. That’s a relief, for sure.
So, as the Eagles get ready to face the Titans on Sunday, they’re heading in without a key part of their defensive line in Greenard. While other key guys like Brown, Moore, Carter, and DeJean look set to play, the question remains: Can the defense step up without their edge rusher? It’s gonna be a tough test, and every snap will count.
