Injury report observations:

  • Slay underwent surgery on his knee last week and is expected to be out until playoffs. 
  • Dickerson also underwent surgery on his thumb last week and missed Monday's matchup, though it looks like he will return to action against the Cardinals.
  • Morrow and Cunningham are also on track to return after missing Monday's win. While their return is important, Shaquille Leonard handled the extra workload in Week 16 just fine. 
  • Maddox's 21-day practice window opened last week and he practiced as a full participant. The Eagles opted not to take him off Injured Reserve against the Giants, but it looks like he could officially return to the lineup this Sunday. His return will be huge for the Eagles' struggling secondary.
