The Philadelphia Eagles are not going to have three players playing in their Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears, but they will have DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley ready to go.
Philly will not have three offensive players playing in the game, including tight end Dallas Goedert. Edge rusher Jonathan Greenard is listed as questionable with a pectoral injury.
Here is a full look at the Eagles' injury report for Week 3:
Name, Position | Injury | Status |
|---|---|---|
Hollywood Brown, WR | Ankle | Out |
Dallas Goedert, TE | Knee | Out |
Fred Johnson, OT | Knee | Out |
Will Shipley, RB | Foot | - |
Saquon Barkley, RB | Stinger | - |
Tank Bigsby, RB | Abdomen | - |
Jalen Carter, DT | Wrist | - |
Jonathan Greenard, EDGE | Pectoral | Questionable |
Andrew Mukuba, S | Knee | - |
DeVonta Smith, WR | Hamstring | - |
Tyler Steen, OL | Shoulder | - |
Eagles are out three players and Jonathan Greenard is questionable
Barkley and Smith being good to play are the big ones from the injury report. It was already known that Barkley was planning on playing, but Smith being good to go is a great thing after some concern over not working out as much throughout the week.
Greenard is the other big name as he keeps inching closer to making his Eagles debut. He has been ruled out the last two weeks, but the Eagles would love to see him on the field and playing for the first time.
Goedert's news was expected, but still hurts to lose him. Zach Ertz is expected to take over for him in the lineup and could get some playing time at tight end with Johnny Mundt potentially getting the start.
Philly's backfield is in good shape with Shipley and Bigsby good to play. That will be good, as all three will most likely rotate with each other throughout the game to keep each other healthy.
Johnson is a surprise name on the list with the knee injury, as that will hurt the depth on the offensive line. Rookie Markel Bell could end up being the backup at both left and right tackle.
Brown being ruled out of the game should open the door for Elijah Moore to be active for the first time this season. Jalen Hurts and Moore had good chemistry throughout training camp, so the two should be just fine in the game.
Mukuba and Carter's injuries will be ones to watch, as they were both noticably a bit off their games last week with the same injuries. The hope is that they will play better with an extra day of rest.
Steen's injury might be worth montoring as well for the Eagles, as he's going to play, but clearly not 100%. The Eagles are already dealing with Cam Jurgens and Drew Kendall playing off position on the line, so it could have an underrated affect on things.
