One of the Philadelphia Eagles’ main objectives during training camp and the preseason this year was to make sure their best players would be available when the actual meaningful games arrived. Mission (mostly) accomplished, as the Birds’ starters should all be ready to go for Friday night’s Week 1 matchup in Brazil against the Green Bay Packers.
They do have two players listed on the injury report, though both players practiced.
Here’s the Eagles-Packers injury report, with analysis.
| Player | Injury | Tues | Wed | Thurs | Status |
| RB MarShawn Lloyd | Hamstring | DNP | |||
| WR Romeo Doubs | Hand | Limited | |||
| LB Edgerrin Cooper | Hip | Limited | |||
| CB Carrington Valentine | Hamstring | Limited | |||
| RB Emanuel Wilson | Hip | Limited |
Wednesday notes:
• Lloyd is a rookie third-round running back. The Packers’ backfield will look different in 2024, as they lost Aaron Jones in free agency this offseason, and signed Josh Jacobs.
Jacobs will start, but Lloyd is expected to be the Packers’ RB2 this season. The Eagles might actually want Lloyd to be available, as he had a very high fumble rate during his college career.
• Doubs is a starting wide receiver. He had 59 catches for 674 yards and 8 TDs in 2023.
• Cooper was the Packers’ second-round pick this offseason.
Notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.
• RB AJ Dillon (IR): Dillon is the Packers’ 247-pound sledgehammer back. His season is over with a neck injury.
