Eagles Nearly Fully Healthy Ahead of Monday Night Showdown vs Packers

The Philadelphia Eagles had pretty much a full bill of health on Friday as they prepare for their Monday Night matchup with the Green Bay Packers

Eagles Trending Toward Full Health

Running back Saquon Barkley (groin), cornerback Jakorian Bennett (pectoral), wide receiver AJ Brown (hamstring), offensive lineman Willie Lampkin (knee/ankle), defensive tackle Moro Ojomo (concussion), and edge rusher Nolan Smith (triceps) were all listed as full participants on the Eagles’ injury report on Friday.

Two Players Still Unavailable

Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (personal matter/concussion) and center Cam Jurgens (knee) were the only two players who did not participate on Friday.

"Explosive player, able to get to the quarterback, violent in the run game, can create a lot of disruption," Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Thursday. Just a lot of how we like to play that position. [Defensive Coordinator] Vic [Fangio] having familiarity with him is obviously big. It takes away some of that learning curve of getting ready to go. A lot of things to like about him."

Also on pace to return on Monday is Smith, who had his  21-day practice window activated on Tuesday.  Smith re-injured the same triceps muscle he tore in the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

In three games this season, Smith has 10 tackles and has yet to record a sack after notching 6.5 last year during the regular season and four more during the team's postseason run.

It will be interesting to see how Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio uses Phillips, Smith, second-year man Jalyx Hunt, and veteran Brandon Graham, who came out of retirement three weeks ago.
