The Philadelphia Eagles do not return to practice until Thursday, however, the team released an estimated injury report on Wednesday. 

Six starters were listed as non-participants including running back Saquon Barkley (rest), wide receiver A.J. Brown (rest), left guard Landon Dickerson (knee), tight end Dallas Goedert (rest/ankle), center Cam Jurgens (back), and wide receiver WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring). 

Wide receiver Britain Covey (neck) was the only player who was limited. 

Considering this is an estimated injury report and the Eagles have roughly two weeks until the Super Bowl, there is no reason to panic just yet.
