Eagles Week 2 Injury Report Observations

  • Rodgers told reporters before practice that he broke his hand on the last day of training camp and had surgery on it. "He’s healed up enough to play but they’ll see how this week goes. If he is able to play, he’ll need to have protection on the hand," NBC Sports Dave Zangaro reports
  • Rodgers is still waiting to make his NFL debut as an Eagles following a one-year long gambling suspension. 
  • Williams' foot injury is new and something to keep an eye on. Thomas Booker IV and Moro Ojomo are the backups there. 
  • It's good to see White back at practice in full after the missed last week but Nakobe Dean has officially been named the starter over him. Head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that White still has a role with the team.
