Eagles Injury Update: the Good, the Bad, and the Unknown
Published:
You want the good news or the bad news?
The good news is that Lane Johnson cleared concussion protocol and is ready to go on Sunday. With Brandon Brooks also back in the fold, the Birds will have the right side of their offensive line intact.
The bad news is that Jordan Howard still has not been green lighted for contact after missing two straight games with a stinger.
Zach Ertz also popped up on the injury report this week with a hamstring designation. Doug Pederson described him as “doing fine” and said he’ll get his Pro Bowl tight end on the grass today to see where he’s at. Ertz apparently felt the hamstring a bit coming out of the Seahawks game, which caused the Eagles to be cautious with him this week.
Other notes:
- Nelson Agholor and Alshon Jeffery are “doing well” and continue to trend “in the right direction”
- If Cre’Von LeBlanc is activated from injured reserve, he’ll play in this game
- he expects a good Eagle fan turnout in Miami
That’s about it, not a ton to talk about. Eagles need to take care of business against a crappy team this weekend.
