Tuesday news and updates.
The Philadelphia Eagles issued their second official injury report on Tuesday in advance of their Week 11 home game against the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football.
Note that this report is an estimation because the team held a walkthrough in lieu of a normal practice.
The Eagles listed four players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Darius Slay, and Nakobe Dean.
All of these players were previously listed under DID NOT PARTICIPATE on Monday. That they’ve been upgraded to limited seems like a good sign for their playing chances. We’ll get more clarity when the final injury report comes out on Wednesday.
The Eagles listed two players under FULL PARTICIPATION: Jordan Mailata and Bryce Huff.
Mailata told SportsRadio 94WIP on Monday evening that “there’s a chance” he plays on Thursday night. That answer hardly guarantees he’s playing but it seems like a positive sign that he wasn’t more ambiguous about his status. He’ll replace Fred Johnson at left tackle if he’s indeed able to suit up.
Vic Fangio had the following to say about Huff in answer to a question about Jalyx Hunt’s increased playing time:
“[Hunt’s] done better in practice. And it’s kind of a result, too, of Bryce [Huff] — he’s got a big cast on his hand. Leaves his thumb totally immobilized. His palm is really immobilized. So he’s just got four fingers dangling there with no thumb or palm to help him. On the less obvious [passing] downs, just makes sense to put a guy in there that’s 100%.”
I suspect the Eagles wouldn’t be limiting, say, Myles Garrett to obvious pass rush downs if he was on the team and had the same injury.
