Injury: Knee

Imagine not having this guy out on the field this Sunday. The Eagles went through almost an entire season of that last year, and it was not pretty. Before, Eagles fans might not have appreciated Rodney McLeod to the fullest — but this guy has been the unsung hero of the defense in 2019.

It seems as though McLeod’s knee injury from last season might’ve given him some issues this week after a big game against the New York Jets. On Wednesday, McLeod popped up on the injury report as he was only a limited participant.

The following day though, McLeod made his way back into the lineup as a full participant and is hopefully on pace to play this Sunday. Barring any surprising setbacks, McLeod should be good to play alongside Malcolm Jenkins and sometimes Andrew Sendejo against the Vikings.
