As the Eagles prepare to host the Washington Commanders in a short week, their injury report is trending in the right direction.
Left tackle Jordan Mailata, whose practice window was activated to start the week, was a full participant for the second straight day Tuesday. Although Mailata has not committed to a return on Thursday, it appears that things are moving in the right direction.
Here is the full injury report from Tuesday:
Limit: LB Nakobe Dean (groin), TE Dallas Goedert (ankle), CB Darius Slay (ankle), WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring)
Complete: DE Bryce Huff (wrist), T Jordan Mailata (hamstring)
It should be noted that the Eagles held another walkthrough on Tuesday, so this injury report is just an estimate. Given the short week, the Eagles will not hold a full practice all week, so the injury report is an estimate of the condition if there was a full practice.
The four players who were limited on Tuesday were listed as non-participants on Monday, so they are all moving in the right direction as well.
Mailata has been on IR for four games due to a hamstring injury he suffered against the Browns. In his absence, veteran Fred Johnson stepped in and performed well, but it will be a big boost to getting Mailata back. He was playing at a Pro Bowl level before going downhill in Week 6.
Goedert, Slay and Dean were all injured in Sunday’s win over the Cowboys. Smith suffered that hamstring injury last week and dealt with it.
Once the Eagles finish Sunday’s game against the Commanders, they will have a mini bye week before heading to Los Angeles the following weekend for a Sunday Night Football game.
