Four Eagles players hit the practice field Wednesday, officially opening their 21-day return windows, and the biggest name among them, guard Landon Dickerson, is already talking tough about his own early-season performance. This is big news for Philadelphia, with a lot of movement on the injury front.
Dickerson’s Brutal Honesty Stuns As Other Key Players Eye Return
Landon Dickerson, who has been sidelined with what he called a bone bruise in his right knee, wasn’t pulling any punches about his game before he landed on injured reserve. He straight-up lamented that he “played like shit” in the season opener. That’s some raw honesty you don’t always get from players, and it tells you everything about his drive to get back. He’s not just back on the field, he’s back with a vengeance in his own head. Joining Dickerson in opening their 21-day windows are defensive back Jakorian Bennett, tight end Grant Calcaterra, and fellow tight end Eli Stowers. Getting these guys into practice is a huge step toward getting them back into game action.
More Injury News Rolling In, But Some Stars Are Still Question Marks
The good news doesn’t stop with the 21-day windows. Reports from Wednesday’s practice indicate that outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard, safety Marcus Epps, and receiver Hollywood Brown are all fully participating. That’s a massive boost across the defense and for the receiving corps. However, it’s not all clear skies for the Eagles. Receiver DeVonta Smith was seen working out on a side field, which isn’t ideal, and running back Saquon Barkley was completely absent from the portion of practice open to media. Those two are huge pieces, and their statuses are definitely something to watch.
It’s Week 6, and teams are really starting to find their rhythm, or desperately trying to. The Eagles are set to release their first injury report of the week later on Wednesday, which will give everyone a much clearer picture of who might be ready to roll. You just know every fan is going to be glued to that report.
