The Philadelphia Eagles issued their second official injury report of the week on Thurssday in advance of their Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n
The Eagles listed seven players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Dontayvion Wicks, Jalyx Hunt, Michael Carter II, Will Shipley, and A.J. Epenesa.<\/p>\n
Hurts will miss Sunday\u2019s game due to a \u201csuperficial blood clot<\/a>.\u201d It\u2019s quite possible he\u2019ll miss more games as well. For now, backup quarterback Tanner McKee is set to make his third career start. Cole Payton is currently the only other healthy QB on the roster, though there\u2019s talk about the team potentially bringing Andy Dalton back on the practice squad.<\/p>\n Barkley is tracking to miss his second straight game due a hamstring injury. With Barkley likely out, Tank Bigsby on injured reserve, and Shipley also expected to miss Sunday\u2019s game \u2026 the Eagles are down to their fourth and fifth running back options: Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele. They also have Jaydon Blue and the newly signed Ian Wheeler on the practice squad.<\/p>\n Wicks was downgraded to DNP after previously being limited on Wednesday. Seems like he might not be able to play on Sunday, which isn\u2019t ideal.<\/p>\n Hunt is expected to miss Sunday\u2019s game after getting hurt in Week 5. On a related note, Epenesa was downgraded from limited to DNP. The Eagles might left with Jonathan Greenard, Nolan Smith, and Arnold Ebiketie at edge rusher. And it\u2019s not yet a lock that Greenard plays.<\/p>\n Carter II is on track to miss Sunday\u2019s game. Marcus Epps could take his place back in the lineup as the safety next to Andrew Mukuba in nickel packages.<\/p>\n The Eagles listed 10 players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: DeVonta Smith, Drew Kendall, Landon Dickerson, Tyler Steen, Marquise Brown, Jonathan Greenard, Grant Calcaterra, Eli Stowers, Jakorian Bennett, and E.J. Jenkins.<\/p>\n Wow, some rare good injury news for the Eagles?! Smith participated in practice for the first time since missing the Eagles\u2019 last two games. That he was limited and not full raises the question if he\u2019ll be ready to suit up on Sunday. But now it seems like there\u2019s at least a chance of it happening. McKee could sure use Smitty out there. (UPDATE: NFL insider Mike Garafolo notes he\u2019s \u201chearing optimism [DeVonta] will play on Sunday<\/a>.\u201d)<\/p>\n Kendall also returned to practice for the first time since suffering a knee injury in Week 4. He might not be able to suit up this week but maybe next week is in play?<\/p>\n Dickerson, Steen, Brown, Greenard, Calcaterra, Stowers, Bennett, and Jenkins were all limited for the second day in a row.<\/p>\n I\u2019m guessing Dickerson isn\u2019t going to suit up until he gets a full practice in first. Ditto for Calcaterra, Stowers, and Bennett, who are all currently still on injured reserve anyway.<\/p>\n The Eagles seem to be managing Steen\u2019s workload to help get him to Sunday.<\/p>\n Brown might be able to return after missing the Eagles\u2019 last few games. The Eagles could use more receiver depth if Wicks can\u2019t play.<\/p>\n The Eagles really need Greenard to get back on the field with Hunt and Epenesa on track to not play.<\/p>\n Jenkins might be able to play.<\/p>\n The Eagles listed seven players under FULL PARTICIPATION: Marcus Epps, Jalen Carter, Zack Baun, Andrew Mukuba, Jihaad Campbell, Arnold Ebiketie, and Fred Johnson.<\/p>\n Epps was upgraded from limited on Wednesday to full on Thursday. He\u2019s ready to return after missing two games.<\/p>\n Carter, Baun, Mukuba, Campbell, Ebiketie, and Johnson were all full go for the second day in a row. They\u2019ll be ready to suit up on Sunday.<\/p>\n PHILADELPHIA EAGLES INJURY REPORT (THURSDAY)<\/p>\n RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) CB Jakorian Bennett (knee) LB Zack Baun (shoulder) CAROLINA PANTHERS INJURY REPORT (THURSDAY)<\/p>\n
