Some notes
- Wide receiver Xavier Worthy continues to surprise us. On Thursday, we were surprised to see him back at practice after he left Week 1’s Chargers game with a dislocated shoulder. After Friday’s session, head coach Andy Reid said Worthy had done some work with the team in practice — and when pressed said there was a “slim chance he might play against the Eagles. But officially, he is listed as a limited participant in Friday’s practice — and has been declared doubtful for the game.
- These days, doubtful is rarely used in injury reports. Officially, it means there is less than a 50% chance the player will be available. Questionable means there is a 50% chance a player will play, while out means there is no chance. There was once a probable classification that indicated a greater than 50% chance a player would be active, but the league has discontinued its use.
- Rookie wide receiver Jalen Royals was once again held out of practice as he continues to deal with tendonitis in his knee. On Wednesday, Reid said that it would be “a stretch” for Royals to play. Reid was right. Royals has now been declared out for Sunday.
- Guard Trey Smith (knee/illness) and linebacker Drue Tranquill (knee) were both upgraded from limited to full participation on Thursday — and continued to be reported that way on Friday. They (and the rest of the players listed on this week’s report) are good to go for Sunday’s matchup.
