Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Commanders Team News
Philadelphia Eagles Team News
The biggest news out of Philadelphia is that newly acquired star edge rusher Jonathan Greenard has been officially ruled OUT for Week 1. Greenard, who arrived via a massive offseason trade from Minnesota, missed all of training camp with a pectoral strain. While he returned to practice in a limited capacity this week, the coaching staff opted to play it safe.
- Out: Jonathan Greenard (EDGE) (Pectoral) - Ruled out after trying to work his way back from a training camp injury.
- Questionable: Eli Stowers (TE) (Hamstring) - The rookie second-round pick was limited all week. He claims he can play, but he may still be a healthy scratch as the team's fourth tight end.
- Clean Bill of Health Elsewhere: The rest of the Eagles' active 53-man roster participated fully in practice and carries no injury designations. Star running back Saquon Barkley is completely healthy and set to headline the offense alongside Jalen Hurts.
Washington Commanders Team News
Head coach Dan Quinn provided a massive update, announcing that every single player on the current 53-man active roster has been medically cleared to play. A large group of key starters were limited during the week but avoided final injury designations. However, Washington is carrying massive losses on its Injured Reserve list.
Active Roster Cleared: Linebackers Odafe Oweh (calf) and K'Lavon Chaisson (knee), defensive tackle Daron Payne (knee), and running back Jacory "Bill" Croskey-Merritt (groin) are all officially active despite being limited earlier in the week. Oweh may be on a limited snap count as he returns from a month-long calf issue.
The Offensive Line Crisis: While the active roster is healthy, the Commanders are facing a major problem up front. Elite left tackle Laremy Tunsil is on Injured Reserve with a triceps injury. This forces rookie Brandon Coleman to move to left tackle, shifting Patrick Paul to left guard, creating a heavily disrupted offensive line ahead of Jayden Daniels' season debut.
Suspension: Edge rusher Dorance Armstrong will not play as he serves a one-game league suspension.
Injured Reserve (IR): Starting cornerback Trey Amos (ankle/fibula) and rookie defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton (pectoral) are both out for the first month on IR with designated-for-return tags.
