Three Eagles are listed as questionable for Monday’s game. Firstly, there’s Mychal Kendricks, who has actually been a full participant in both of the last two practices. The linebacker has been a crucial cog in the Eagles stellar defensive efforts this year, enjoying a comeback that has surprised just about everyone. With Jordan Hicks already sidelined, losing a second starter may force Dannell Ellerbe into action alongside Joe Walker and Najee Goode.


Elsewhere, Jalen Mills appears to be listed as questionable, although he was adamant that he would be playing when asked by reporters on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles may not have a cornerback conundrum after all, now that Patrick Robinson is out of concussion protocol and Mills is nearing health…which for a secondary that has struggled mightily in the last few weeks, is huge.

Finally, Stefen Wisniewski is listed as questionable once again. The injury sustained two weeks ago continues to hamper the veteran guard and it will be Isaac Seumalo likely filling in to begin with after Chance Warmack showed up on the injury list earlier this week.

“Wiz continues to get better.” Doug Pederson told reporters. “He’s practiced in a little bit of a limited fashion. But again, he’s another one that’s coming along. We’ll see where he’s at again today.”

Derek Barnett was a full participant which is a huge boost for a defensive end group that may lean on Barnett’s skillset if the Birds do run away with a Christmas miracle.
