Eagles injury report: 7 players miss practice ahead of Giants game
The Eagles listed 18 players on Wednesday's injury report, including seven who missed practice ahead of Sunday's Week 9 matchup with the Giants
The Philadelphia Eagles practiced on Wednesday with several key players sidelined as they prepare for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the New York Giants. The extensive injury report, which listed 18 players, included seven who did not participate in practice. Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back), Jihaad Campbell (hamstring/quad), Michael Carter (abdomen), Britain Covey (knee), Jonathan Jones (hamstring), DeVonta Smith (hamstring), and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were all sidelined.
The injury concerns, particularly at running back and wide receiver, create challenges for an offense that will see a quarterback change from Tanner McKee to Joe Milton. Saquon Barkley's status remains crucial as he has been dealing with hamstring and back injuries. Philadelphia has already placed Dameon Pierce and Tank Bigsby on injured reserve, leaving Jaydon Blue as the primary back.
The Eagles' receiving corps also faces significant injury issues, with Britain Covey and DeVonta Smith missing practice. Defensively, Jihaad Campbell and Jonathan Jones were unable to participate, while Zack Baun and Jordan Davis had minor injuries. The Eagles received some positive updates on defense, with Jonathan Greenard (limited ankle), Jalyx Hunt (limited knee/ankle), Zack Baun (full participation despite shoulder injury), and Jordan Davis (full participation despite thumb injury) all participating in practice.
The team will return to practice on Thursday, with a final injury report on Friday providing a clearer picture of availability for Sunday's game against the Giants.
