The Eagles have released their second injury report of the week and while the team are running walkthroughs over the next few days instead of full practices, the report does shed some insight into the status of players heading into the final game of the regular season. The good news is for the Eagles is that many of the previous concerns have been cleared up.

Only one player has missed practice this week, DE Brandon Graham. The veteran pass-rusher has missed both days with an ankle injury and as the decision looms of who of the starters is rested ahead of the playoffs, this could be an indicator that the superstar with 9.5 sacks this season may indeed be out of action, or at least limited in the season finale.

Elsewhere, Jalen Mills and Big V, who were both on the injury list last week are practicing in a full capacity. Mills also limped off the field against the Raiders in the second half, so to be listed as a full participant is an encouraging sign.

Wisniewski is still listed on the report, although he was also listed as a full participant, which means we may finally see the return of the versatile guard on Sunday.
