October 31, 20222 yr We've all seen how necessary having depth is when making a super bowl run. The eagles have good depth at defensive tackle. Injuries are the one thing that could derail the season if they come in bunches.
October 31, 20222 yr They just need to make sure he works on his conditioning and doesn't gain 50 pounds while he's out. Otherwise, this will all be fine.

Yes - but opponents saw last year and in the Detroit game this year, that you can run against the Eagles without Davis in the game. I’d hate to face the cowboys and Giants with Zeke, Pollard and Saquan in December and beyond without him.

October 31, 20222 yr Bummed for him because he was showing game to game improvement. Also, with his weight and body, being dormant isn't good for conditioning. I'd take a run at Suh, but he's a known lockeroom disruptor. Who else is available?

Davis injury sure makes it more challenging.....but I think Gannen has to address this with personnel and scheme also. With or without Davis, the eagles shouldn't be giving up this kind of yardage on the ground. And, like you said, the eagles face some really good ground games in the coming games, especially if they don't jump out into the lead.
November 1, 20222 yr I am so thankful that it was only an ankle injury, he will be healthy and ready to play for the Playoffs! Honestly I would just let his ankle heal for 7 weeks.
November 1, 20222 yr I realize he's a bigger guy but there is no way he is missing 6 weeks with a high ankle sprain. Jonathan Taylor and David Montgomery both recently had them and only missed 1 or 2 games. Davis will probably miss 2 or 3 games unless there was structural damage.

Should be ready for GB.

The Eagles under Siri are very tight lipped about injuries. To me, the good news is that the team didn't trade for a defensive tackle before the deadline.

Isn't there some sort of "rookie wall" where they just aren't used to playing 17 games? Would Davis being out count against that rookie wall? As in, being injured might ultimately result in more in the tank for the playoffs?

Fortunately, the recovery timetable is less time than the remaining season.
November 2, 20222 yr Author Not good - the big guy was placed on injured reserve. He's out at least 4 weeks.
November 2, 20222 yr 12 minutes ago, Procus said: Not good - the big guy was placed on injured reserve. He's out at least 4 weeks. So he's gotta miss at least 6 weeks?

Meh we still have a pretty strong 4-man rotation at the position. Davis was only playing what like 35% of the snaps. Milton Williams and Tuliloopilui can absorb most of that.

Very true.. however we have no idea what the run D would look like with Quinn at D-end and BG playing inside. BG has always been great vs the run. Will it be like having Davis in there... no.. but maybe it won't be horrible.
