The Philadelphia Eagles have released their second injury report of the week ahead of their clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

While several big names missed yesterday’s practice, the good news is that most returned on Halloween, preventing any nasty ‘trick or treat’ surprises for fans.

Eagles analysis

We knew that Dallas Goedert was going to be listed on the injury report for some time, but CB Darius Slay has joined him. Isaiah Rodgers and Kelee Ringo figure to be the next men up if needed this week, with Rodgers coming off the back of a huge game against Cincy in relief of the veteran. The Eagles have enough depth to offset the short-term loss of Darius Slay so his absence shouldn’t be of grave concern.

It was encouraging to see the rest of the names on this list either limited or practicing in full. Both Dickerson and Becton are key cogs to this offensive front and while the team survived without Becton at RG last week, getting him back is huge.

The same can be said for Jalen Carter, who was absent from Wednesday’s practice with a shoulder injury.

It looks like Philadelphia will be as close to full health as they can be heading into Sunday’s contest with Jacksonville.
