Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles face significant injury concerns as they prepare for their upcoming Monday night game. Key players, including tight end Dallas Goddard and wide receivers Devontae Smith and Dontavian Wicks, do not participate in the first practice of the week. Smith's ongoing hamstring issue raises alarms, especially after he played through the injury in previous games. Goddard's knee injury is also under scrutiny, as he has a history of missing games due to similar issues.

Defensive back Michael Carter is sidelined with an abdomen injury, while outside linebacker Nolan Smith is in concussion protocol following a concerning hit in a recent game. The Eagles are also monitoring the status of running back Saquon Barkley, who has been limited in practice due to a hamstring injury but is optimistic about returning for the game. The team has made roster changes, releasing tight end EJ Jenkins and signing running back Jaden Blue and guard Evan Neal to the practice squad, indicating a proactive approach to bolster their depth amid injury challenges.
