He was in the medical tent on Sunday, but if he's practicing it can't be too bad.

Nolan Smith? That's random.

Also surprised Bennett is that hurt

What the hell did that kicker do to him

Wonder if Nolan has been dealing with something all year. The roster management at edge rusher has been weird

Probably not all the way back from the SB injury

It's my understanding, it's not that bad.

Great Wednesday so far

Not too worried about Nolan Smith being out for a few weeks. Got solid experienced depth on the edge and Campbell/Baun to take some snaps. The most irreplaceable guy on the roster, Lane Johnson, is upright and healthy is whats important. No slight on Fred Johnson.

Assuming we are going to dress 4 edge players, that leaves one spot behind Hunt, Z. Smith and Uche. I know PJ dressed before, but with Latu now on the 53, not sure his special teams ability is needed as much. I'll admit I was 100% wrong on Azeez -- I thought he'd be a good value singing, but he's shown nothing at all. I'm guessing Okoronkwo gets the call.

Not good news about Nolan but not the end of the world considering they signed Z.

Any guesses on who the Eagles look to bring in now if anyone? (Besides the guys reported already)

Worth a trade even though Nolan should only be a month or so? I guess it wouldn’t be a surprise if a trade was in the works already anyway.

Fingers crossed, I don't think Ringo has the agility to stick to WRs out of their breaks for man coverage and on vertical routes where he has the speed he doesn't track the ball (C3) - maybe C2 or inverted C2 where he isn't really trailing receivers and is kept facing the QB? He is good against the run and will tackle.

Agreed. But willing to take his warts over Bennett or Jackson at this point. He knows the system by now and needs to take his lumps and get consistent reps. Like the height here and toughness. I think Fangio will know how to use him to his strengths.

Lanes not even doing individual drills, he's just doing mental reps. I guess it's good he's out there doing something but sounds like he's far from practicing.

I'd give him the extra week. Think he would play if was game of huge magnitude. I'd also like to give Dickerson a couple weeks off. Guy's not right! Problem is Toth blows! And don't think Pryor is much better. Think the Kinnard trade was an underrated bad move . As well as trade of Booker for Bennett, while we are at it. And Tank. I think Howie has been a lil off in trades lately. But totally is still killing it overall.

It's a physical sport. Every team has injuries.

Find a way to win.

If you watch the replay you will see Bennett dived on the kicker to preven him from getting the ball. He dove using his right shoulder so my guess is it is some type of shoulder injury.

It's Wednesday. If he's still limited Friday I will be concerned. I'm frankly surprised he's out there at all -- it's not like he needs mental reps.

Campbell not practicing and Baun rocking a brace is more concerning.

No idea why our whole team must get injured before playing Tampa again. This could be an important game for tie breaker/seeding.

Well that isn't good on Smith. Good thing they signed Smith. Wonder if there is another Smith out there. Seriously though time for one of those vets to play

I wonder what kind of shape BG is in?

All joking aside, I have a feeling Howie has been making a lot of phone calls.

To be fair, about 5 pages ago we were discussing Nolan and Hunt not having any big plays so far this year. So I'm not going to lose my mind over Nolan missing 6 weeks. Uche and Z. Smith have been pretty solid.

Geesh...I guess this is the price that gets paid for playing in everyone's "Super Bowl" every week...praying for wellness for all.

Did it never fully heal? He was wearing an arm brace all season.

I mean most likely not. Really playing with fire and welp, they got burned.

14 minutes ago, pgcd3 said:

That's a big loss. I hope he didn't significantly aggravate it.

What's pretty concerning is Parry Nickerson is on the active roster. Even though it's probably very short term. He's Toast Jackson's brother. Howie gotta figure out CB depth in season, on the fly here. I imagine either Samuel or Gilmore are Eagles here by end of October. At worst....
