Brown (hamstring) and Landon Dickerson (knee) \u2014 not to mention a handful of depth players. We learned on Tuesday that Jordan Mailata would miss practice after suffering a concussion earlier in the week, and Tanner McKee was sidelined with a finger injury on his throwing hand \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/tim_mcmanus\/status\/1957807059367256315?s=46&amp;t=3jPbbNs3msuS4SxUxtDR8g\" rel=\"nofollow\">reports suggest McKee will not require surgery<\/a>, at least.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">To make matters worse, during Tuesday\u2019s practice, WR Johnny Wilson was carted to the locker room after 11-on-11 drills, and rookie safety Andrew Mukuba left the field after suffering what appeared to be a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">None of the injuries are without concern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">During the team\u2019s preseason game against the Browns, we saw how much the OL depth struggled, and the two QBs behind McKee \u2014 Dorian Thompson-Robinson and rookie Kyle McCord \u2014 weren\u2019t ready to lead the offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Having Dickerson and Mailata out at the same time is not good news for Jalen Hurts or the left side of the line, and McKee being sidelined is definitely a concern for the QB depth \u2014 especially for a team and fanbase that understands the value of a really good backup quarterback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We also saw Andrew Mukuba have a great game against the Browns, but this will be his second injury of the offseason which calls into question his durability. His performance against Cleveland was enough for him to be considered an exciting option for the open starting safety position. Now, we\u2019ll have to see if he\u2019s even ready for Week 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Johnny Wilson\u2019s injury is most upsetting for the young WR. The Eagles recently added John Metchie to an already crowded receiver room, but Wilson was having a great preseason up to this point. The team won\u2019t likely keep seven WRs on the roster, so Wilson\u2019s hope is no one leaps over him in the depth chart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Eagles have one week to finalize their 53-man roster, and with injuries stacking up, they\u2019re going to have some tough decisions to make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s that time of year when players start feeling the affects of training camp, and the Philadelphia Eagles\u2019&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":159339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,76139,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-159338","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115057451922665465","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
