Fletcher Cox, Brandon Brooks among 4 Eagles starters on the injury report

The Philadelphia Eagles just wrapped up their first practice (walkthrough) in advance of Sunday’s huge matchup with the Dallas Cowboys and four starters popped up on the injury report.

Brandon Brooks (calf), Fletcher Cox (triceps), Ronald Darby (hip flexor), and Jordan Howard (shoulder) were all limited participants in the helmetless practice.

Cox and Brooks were available to the media before and after practice and both should be good to go for Sunday.

Darby’s issue could make him a game-time decision, while Nelson Agholor, Lane Johnson and Brandon Brooks did not practice again.

Johnson was downgraded to day-to-day and will likely play after being snubbed as Pro Bowler once again.

Eagles Injury Report: Zach Ertz did not participate, 4 other starters listed as limited

The Philadelphia Eagles released their Thursday estimated injury report for the team’s Thanksgiving day injury release and Zach Ertz is trending towards not playing.

Had the Eagles practice, Ertz likely would have sat out again and if he can’t practice on Friday, he could be a scratch with a hamstring injury.

Nelson Agholor, Jordan Howard, Alshon Jeffery, and Jason Peters are all trending in the right direction, while Lane Johnson, Brandon Brooks, and Carson Wentz all look good to go for Sunday in Miami.
