Injury report observations:

  • It's worth noting that Wednesday was just a walk-through, while Thursday was a normal practice for the Eagles.  
  • Rookie safety Sydney Brown (hamstring) says he is 100% healthy and is set to return against the Dolphins after missing three games, via NBC Sports' Dave Zangaro. That's a huge boost for a beat-up secondary.
  • In more secondary news, cornerback Darius Slay (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday and practiced in full on Thursday after missing last week's game.
  • Cornerback Eli Ricks (knee) also practiced in full after exiting Sunday's game early.
  • Wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) returned to practice after sitting out on Wednesday and plans on playing Sunday. 
  • Starting right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) is trending in the right direction
  • And here's a video of Julio Jones in action for the first time as an Eagle, thanks to Zangaro:
