The Eagles didn’t actually practice Wednesday, but they felt compelled to list five players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE:
Landon Dickerson, Lane Johnson, Avonte Maddox, Robert Quinn, and Cam Jurgens.
All five players had “rest” designations attached to their injuries, which indicates the team is taking a cautious approach with them.
Dickerson has a hyperextension of his right elbow, suffered in the Eagles’ NFC Championship Game victory. The starting left guard is reportedly expected to play on February 12.
Johnson (above with AJ Brown) will have surgery on his groin after the season. For now, he’s being managed in order to be able to play through the pain.
Maddox saw limited playing time in his first game back from a toe injury. The Eagles will be careful with him to prevent any setbacks.
Quinn has been dealing with various issues. The veteran pass rusher should be ready for the big game.
Jurgens is an unexpected addition to the report. He must’ve gotten banged up during very limited playing time.
