Eagles Week 2 Injury Report Observations
- Rodgers told reporters before practice on Thursday that he broke his hand on the last day of training camp and had surgery on it. "He’s healed up enough to play but they’ll see how this week goes. If he is able to play, he’ll need to have protection on the hand," NBC Sports Dave Zangaro reports .
- It's notable to add that Monday will be Rodgers' regular season NFL debut as an Eagle following a one-year-long gambling suspension.
- Williams' foot injury was new but appears to be nothing too serious. Thomas Booker IV and Moro Ojomo are solid backups there if needed.
- It's good to see White back at practice in full after he missed last week, however, Nakobe Dean has officially been named the starter over him. Additionally, Head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed this week that White still has a big role with the team . We'll know what that is on Monday.
- Brown's hamstring injury was a new addition to the injury report. Sirianni said he had "tightness" in his hamstring and they will take a "we'll see approach" heading into Monday. He did not practice on Saturday.
- Wilson, also dealing with a hamstring injury, sat out on Saturday.
- Wide receiver Jahan Dotson would step up in Brown's place with Britain Covey taking Wilson's snaps.
- Johnson's thumb injury kept him limited for two days but he should be good to go with it wrapped up.
