The Philadelphia Eagles issued their second official injury report of the week on Thursday in advance of their Week 2 game against the Tennessee Titans.
The Eagles listed one player under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Andrew Mukuba.
Mukuba is a new addition to the injury report. We was seen in the locker room wearing a sleeve on his left leg. The Inquirer’s Jeff McLane says Mukuba said he’s good. But an in-week injury is never ideal. We’ll see if Mukuba is able to participate on Friday. If he can’t play, Michael
Carter II could start at safety next to Marcus Epps. Those two are currently the only healthy safeties on the Eagles’ active roster. The team has rookies Cole Wisniewski and Maximus Pulley on the practice squad.
The Eagles listed three players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: Jalen Carter, Cooper DeJean, and Jonathan Greenard.
Carter previously missed practice on Wednesday. He was seen wearing a covering on his right wriston Thursday. Carter said he will play on Sunday while wearing a cast. It remains to be seen how much this injury could impact his ability to be effective.
DeJean previously missed practice on Wednesday. While speaking on Wednesday, he seemed optimistic about his chances to play. Like Carter, we’ll see if DeJean is significantly impacted by his injury (like he may have been in Week 1?) or not.
Greenard said he is “super close” to returning. But if he’s limited again on Friday, he probably won’t play on Sunday. Week 3 seems like the realistic target.
