Eagles Injury Report: Nelson Agholor ruled out vs. Seahawks, Lane Johnson, Zach Ertz listed as questionable

The Philadelphia Eagles released their final injury report in advance of Sunday’s huge matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

Lane Johnson and Zach Ertz are questionable for the contest, while Nelson Agholor was ruled out once again.

Derek Barnett (ankle), Miles Sanders (ankle), Jalen Mills (ankle), Avonte Maddox (abdomen), Sidney Jones (back), and Fletcher Cox (triceps) were all full participants in practice and expected to play.

Ertz still hasn’t been cleared for contact and will likely be a game-time decision. Johnson has been out since Week 14 and has been progressing in his rehab.

Eagles star right guard Brandon Brooks (9 votes) finished third at right guard in AP voting behind Zack Martin (24) and Marshal Yanda (16).

Lane Johnson, arguably the best at his position, (3) was behind Ryan Ramcyzk and Mitchell Schwartz at RT.

Fletcher Cox and Malcolm Jenkins each only got one vote this year.

The Philadelphia Eagles released their first injury report in advance of Sunday’s matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

Seven other Eagles were limited participants and they included, Derek Barnett (ankle), Fletcher Cox (triceps), Zach Ertz (ribs, back), Lane Johnson (ankle).

Sidney Jones popped up on the report with a back injury, while Avonte Maddox (abdomen) and Jalen Mills (ankle) should be good to go for Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles had the day off to celebrate Christmas with their families, but the team still released an estimated injury report for what would have been a Wednesday practice.

Had the Eagles practiced, Nelson Agholor (knee), Zach Ertz (ribs) and Lane Johnson (ankle) would have been out.

JJ Arcega-Whiteside (foot), Derek Barnett (ankle), Brandon Brooks (calf), Fletcher Cox (triceps), Jordan Howard (shoulder) and Jalen Mills (ankle) would have been limited.

Howard is expected to be cleared to rejoin the Eagles lineup after missing five games, while Johnson could be a game-time decision with a high ankle sprain, although it’s more likely that he’ll return for a potential playoff run.

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.

The worst Pro Bowl picks — and the players who should replace them

Every year, a group of undeserving players are named to the Pro Bowl. Here’s this year’s list, and the players who should replace them.

If you think the Pro Bowl is a meaningless exercise, don’t tell the fans, players, and teams when somebody on their side is snubbed in the process. Every year, there are deserving players who aren’t voted to the Pro Bowl roster, and every year, there are players who get on more through previous reputation than current performance.

Here are the most egregious omissions in the 2019 voting, with thought on which players these unfortunate snubs should replace. Because if you’re going to complain about a player who’s wrongly off the Pro Bowl roster, you should be able to find a guy who’s taking up space. That’s where things get a bit more difficult!

Quarterback (NFC)

In: Dak Prescott or Kirk Cousins
Out: Aaron Rodgers

(Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports)

Either Prescott or Cousins would be a better fit on the NFC roster than Aaron Rodgers, who had just three games with more than 300 passing yards this season, three games with less than 200 yards passing, and eight games with one or zero touchdowns. Cousins has been on fire after a rough start to the season, and Prescott ranks first in Football Outsiders’ opponent-adjusted efficiency metrics. Not that Rodgers has had a bad season, but this seems much more like a reputation pick than anything else.

Receiver (AFC)

In: Julian Edelman
Out: Jarvis Landry

(Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports)

Landry has been one of Cleveland’s few bright spots on offense this season, but it’s kind of ridiculous to have him in over Edelman, who was part of a total snub of New England offensive players that hasn’t happened since 2003. Yes, Landry has 74 catches on 1,018 yards and five touchdowns, but Edelman has 92 catches for 1,019 yards and six touchdowns in an offense so broken, opposing defenses can bracket him on just about every play. Edelman has faced more double teams than at any other point in his career, and he’s having arguably his most productive season.
