The Philadelphia Eagles are trending toward full health heading into their Week 17 Sunday matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. 

It's a bit of a surprise considering this week is a quick turnaround following Monday's win over the New York Giants. 

Only one player did not participate in the Birds' walkthrough on Wednesday: Darius Slay (knee). 

Below is the Eagles' injury report from Wednesday's walkthrough:

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 back at practice after missing Monday's win.    
  • Maddox returned to practice last week as a full participant. The Eagles opted not to take him off Injured Reserve against the Giants, so maybe they will try to on Sunday.
