The Philadelphia Eagles (10-2) are dealing with a handful of injuries as they get ready to take on the Carolina Panthers (3-9) in Week 14.
Starting safety Reed Blankenship (concussion) and starting tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) were among four players who did not practice on Wednesday. Wide receiver Britain Covey (neck) and safety Sydney Brown (knee) were also sidelined.
Cornerback Darius Slay (concussion), running back Saquon Saquon (rest), right guard Mekhi Becton (knee/rest), defensive tackle Jalen Carter (rest), outside linebacker Josh Sweat (rest), and wide receiver Johnny Wilson (hamstring) were limited on Wednesday.
The good news is that No. 2 wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was a full participant after missing the last two games.
Eagles Week 14 Injury Report Observations
- The Eagles are said to be monitoring Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley's health closely so it will be normal for either or both of them to kick off the week limited moving forward.
- Reed Blankenship suffered a concussion while Dallas Goedert hurt his knee in the Eagles' Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
- With Goedert dealing with an injury, the Eagles signed tight end C.J. Uzomah to the 53-man roster.
- Per a report from Eagles insider Jeff McLane, Goedert could be sidelined on a "week-to-week" basis.
- The Eagles also signed wide receiver Parris Campbell back to the practice squad and fullback Khari Blasingame.
- Sydney Brown was on last week's injury report with the same knee injury. He did end up suiting up against Baltimore.
- Wide receiver Johnny Wilson was ruled out last Sunday so it's good to see him back at practice.
- Cornerback Darius Slay has been on and off the injury report this season with a lingering knee issue. He suffered this concussion in Week 12's win over the LA Rams.
- Pending what happens with Blankenship and Brown this week, the Eagles could lean more on backup Tristan McCollum.
- Britain Covey's neck injury isn't anything to be concerned about right now but rookie Cooper DeJean is a solid backup on punt return.
