Wednesday’s injury update
For the second week in a row, the Eagles conducted a walkthrough on Wednesday.
The team released an estimated injury report, since it was a walkthrough, and the only player who would not have practiced was cornerback Bradley Roby, who suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 6 game against the Jets.
Defensive tackle Milton Williams (heel) would have been a limited participant.
Great news regarding safety Reed Blankenship, who missed Sunday’s win over the Dolphins with a ribs injury. He would have been a full participant.
Meanwhile, quarterback Jalen Hurts was not listed on the injury report.
Hurts put on a knee brace at halftime of Sunday’s win over the Dolphins.
“We’re just taking it day by day, taking it day by day,” Hurts said on Wednesday.
“We’re confident that he’ll be ready to go, but anytime these guys are working through pain and things like that … We anticipate him to go. That doesn’t mean it’s easy,” Sirianni said earlier this afternoon.
“We’re hopeful that there’ll be no limitations on Sunday.”
Hurts did not say whether or not he will play with the brace this Sunday against the Commanders.
“Honestly, I wasn’t thinking about it. … Just trying to find ways to win,” he said of playing with the brace.
Following a third-quarter pick-six, Hurts went 9-of-12 for 119 yards while leading two touchdown drives in the 31-17 victory. He also used his legs to jump-start the go-ahead possession with a 12-yard scramble.
Hurts finished Sunday’s win 23-of-31 (74.2 percent) for 279 yards, three total touchdowns, and a 109.5 passer rating. Hurts has now posted 300+ total yards and 2+ total TDs in five consecutive games, which marks the longest active streak in the league. Overall, it is the longest streak by an NFL quarterback since Patrick Mahomes did it in six straight games last season.
