The Philadelphia Eagles were 100% healthy heading into Week 1, but that won't be the case this week when they take on the Minnesota Vikings.

Injury report observations:

  • Dean is set to miss "multiple weeks" (at least a month) with a foot injury. The good news is that he will not need surgery. Following Dean's injury update, the Eagles signed linebacker help in former first-round pick, Rashaan Evans. 
  • Bradberry is in concussion protocol, which is a five-step process that he may not have time to clear by Thursday. 
  • Cox had an MRI Monday morning and "should be fine," according to Jeff McLane. McLane did note that Cox's availability will depend on pain management. 
  • The same could be said for Blankenship and Gainwell, who are also dealing with rib injuries.
