    The Philadelphia Eagles (2-2) held full practice on Wednesday as they prepare to face the Cleveland Browns (1-4) in Week 6 coming off of their bye.

    Before the team took the field, head coach Nick Sirianni spoke with reporters and said he "felt good" about the health of his football team, and he wasn't lying.

    The majority of Eagles' key injured players, including starting wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) practiced in full.

    The only player who was limited at practice was linebacker Nakobe Dean (ankle).

    Below is the Eagles' injury report following Wednesday's practice:
