The Philadelphia Eagles issued their first official injury report in advance of their Week 5 home game against the Denver Broncos.
The Eagles listed one player under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Dallas Goedert.
Goedert got banged up in the Eagles’ Week 4 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He may have tweaked the knee injury that previously caused him to miss Week 2. It’s possible the Eagles are managing his workload but we’ll see if he’s able to practice at all on Thursday or Friday. If Goedert can’t play, the Eagles will have three tight ends active: Grant Calcaterra, Cameron Latu, and Kylen Granson.
The Eagles listed four players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: Lane Johnson, Jalen Carter, Adoree’ Jackson, and Nakobe Dean.
Johnson and Carter seem like good bets to play through pain. The Eagles are likely managing their practice workloads this week to help get them to Sunday.
Jackson might be able to play after missing Week 4. But Vic Fangio noted that the Eagles might just stick with Kelee Ringo at cornerback. Could still be good to have Jackson around as a depth option.
Dean returned to practice for the first time since January. One would think the Eagles aren’t in a rush to activate him since Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell are locked in as starters. Also makes sense to give Dean more time to ramp up after a long layoff due to injury.
Update on Eagles long snapper Charley Hughlett, who was placed on injured reserve:
