Eagles Week 1 Injury Report Observations

  • White and Nakobe Dean were listed as the potential starters at LB on the Eagles' depth chart following cutdown day. With White out, the Eagles will turn to Dean and Zack Baun to start at linebacker. Philly also has Oren Burks, Ben VanSumeren, and rookie Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
  • Rodgers is slated to start outside opposite Darius Slay following an exceptional offseason performance. His injury doesn't appear too serious since he still practiced some. But if he can't play on Friday, then the Eagles will turn to second-year CB Kelee Ringo. They also have rookie Quinyon Mitchell to lean on at outside corner and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is extremely confident in him.
  • As for Brown and Dickerson, they were gifted a veteran rest day.
  • Some good news to come from the injury report is that tight end Dallas Goedert, rookie linebacker Jalyx Hunt, and backup right guard Tyler Steen seem to be back to full health after recently dealing with injuries during the preseason.
  • Additionally, rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson is out of concussion protocol.
