Eagles vs Cardinals injury final report: questionable Darius Slay, two players excluded



[ad_1]

The Philadelphia Eagles released their third and final official injury report on Friday ahead of their Week 15 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Two players were excluded: Jack Driscoll and Avonte Maddox.

Driscoll is reportedly out for the season, so he will likely be placed in the injured reserve in the near future. Matt Pryor is set to replace him in the right tackle, which means the Eagles will use their 13th combination of different starting offensive lines in 14 games this year.

Maddox could also head to the IR with Doug Pederson saying he should “run out of time.” If last week was any indication, the Eagles might consider using Nickell Robey-Coleman as an outside cornerback with Kevon Seymour rotating as NRC moves inside to play in the slot machine. Not ideal.

UPDATE: The Eagles have officially placed Driscoll and Maddox on IR.

Three players were deemed questionable: Darius Slay, Malik Jackson and Grayland Arnold.

Slay was limited in practice for the second day in a row. He is still in the concussion protocol and therefore must be eliminated independently before he can play. It is assumed here that he will be able to play this weekend. We will see.

Jackson was a full participant on Friday. He’s officially doubtful since he’s still in the concussion protocol, but it looks like he’ll be cleared. He’s more advanced than Slay.

Arnold missed practice on Wednesday before being restricted for the last two days. It would be nice if he was in good health in order to provide depth of safety and assistance to special teams. But the Eagles may need to be careful with his hammy.

Fletcher Cox, Josh Sweat, TJ Edwards, Shaun Bradley, Rudy Ford and Michael Jacquet are all listed with no playing status after previously appearing on the injury report this week. The Eagles are receiving reinforcements for the defense and special teams of this group. Positive development.
