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.

Alshon Jeffery, Lane Johnson limited; Jordan Howard improving

The Philadelphia Eagles released their first injury report in advance of Sunday’s matchup with the Dolphins in Miami and some more reinforcements returned to practice.

Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and Lane Johnson all returned to practice after missing Sunday’s loss to Seattle.

Jordan Howard is still progressing from his stinger suffered against the Chicago Bears, but he’ll likely be evaluated later in the week, as he’s yet to be cleared for contact.

Tight end Zach Ertz was at practice but spent a good amount of time off to the side. Carson Wentz bruised hand is progressing well also and he should be good to go for Sunday.

Greg Ward to have an increased role in Eagles’ offense moving forward

The Philadelphia Eagles will need to find out if Greg Ward can be successful running another route besides an out-pattern, but the former college quarterback has definitely earned an increased role moving forward.

On Wednesday, head coach, Doug Pederson confirmed as much while addressing the media.

Ward has been a mainstay on the Eagles practice squad for a couple of years now, and after this latest call up to the active roster, he made the most of his opportunities. Ward caught six passes for 40 yards on seven targets and eclipsed JJ Arcega-Whitesides season totals in the first half of the Eagles loss to Seattle.

His quickness and shiftiness in the slot should provide Carson Wentz with another valuable weapon moving forward.

The Philadelphia Eagles returned to practice on Wednesday in preparation for the team’s game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson addressed the media on Wednesday and provide an update on Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor.

Pederson said Agholor and Jeffery are trending in the right direction and both players are expected to be full participants in practice this week. The Eagles are 0-4 without Jeffery in the lineup and need his services down the stretch.

Johnson is not out of the concussion protocol, but he will practice on Wednesday as he works to get cleared.

Star running back Jordan Howard continues to have limited participation in practice as he works his way back from a stinger suffered two weeks ago.

The Philadelphia Eagles promoted Greg Ward to the active roster and it looks like the former college quarterback will get his shot during a regular-season game. Adam Schefter of ESPN.com is reporting that both running back Jordan Howard and wide receiver Nelson Agholor, are expected to miss Sunday’s home matchup with Seattle.

It will be the second straight missed game for Howard who has been dealing with a “stinger”, while Agholor has been dealing with a knee injury suffered in last Sunday’s loss to New England.

Jay Ajayi is expected to see an increased role in Howard’s absence, while Ward and JJ Arcega-Whiteside will try to fill in for Agholor on the outside and in the slot.
