Eagles Injury Crisis: Key Players Out for London Game
9 Oct
Summary
- Quinyon Mitchell, limited yesterday, practiced fully today.
- Multiple key offensive players, including Barkley and Wicks, are injured.
- The offensive line faces significant disruption with Kendall's knee issue.
The Philadelphia Eagles are grappling with a severe injury report heading into their Week 5 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. While cornerback Quinyon Mitchell fully participated in practice, a day after being limited with a hyperextended knee, the news is largely grim for the offense.
Several key offensive weapons are in jeopardy. Running back Saquon Barkley has not practiced this week due to a slow-healing hamstring issue. Wide receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) also missed practice, potentially leaving Jalen Hurts with limited receiving options, including rookies Makai Lemon and Elijah Moore.
The offensive line is experiencing significant upheaval. Center Drew Kendall missed his second consecutive practice with a knee injury, a critical blow given recent changes. If Kendall cannot play, undrafted free agent Jake Majors could make his NFL debut. Other young players like Willie Lampkin and Markel Bell are also slated for increased roles, with only Jordan Mailata and Tyler Steen remaining as established starters on the line.
