It's almost game time as the Philadelphia Eagles gear up to take on Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football. 

The Eagles enter this matchup a bit banged up from Week 1's win over the New England Patriots. 

Below is the Eagles’ full list of inactives against the Vikings:

  • S Reed Blankenship
  • CB James Bradberry
  • RB Kenneth Gainwell
  • QB Tanner McKee
  • DT Moro Ojomo
  • TE Albert Okwuegbunam
  • OG Tyler Steen

Who we don't see on the list is star defensive tackle Fletcher Cox. 

Cox was questionable with a rib injury heading into the short week of preparation, however, he will suit up and play tonight. That's good news against a Vikings offense that features four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins and two speedy wide receivers in Justin Jefferson and 2023 first-round pick Jordan Addison. 

Safety Reed Blankenship (ribs), cornerback James Bradberry (concussion) and running back Kenny Gainwell (ribs) were ruled out on Thursday

Here's who is inactive for the Vikings: 

  • C Garrett Bradbury
  • LB Andre Carter
  • QB Jaren Hall
  • TE Nick Muse
  • DT Jaquelin Roy

Kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field is at 8:15 p.m. ET.
