Eagles Face Injury Concerns as Chiefs Week Begins
The Philadelphia Eagles began preparations for their highly anticipated Sunday night matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs with several key players nursing injuries.Tight end dallas Goedert, quarterback Tanner McKee, and running back will Shipley did not participate in Wednesday’s practice. Goedert, who led the Eagles with seven receptions for 44 yards in the season opener against Dallas, is dealing with a knee injury.
This injury situation unfolds as the Eagles prepare to face the reigning Super Bowl champions. Goedert’s absence would significantly impact Jalen Hurts’ options in the passing game, while McKee’s continued recovery from a right thumb injury leaves uncertainty at the backup quarterback position. Shipley’s oblique injury further complicates the eagles’ running back depth chart after he exited the Cowboys game in the second quarter.
However, there was positive news on the injury front. Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson, who left the Dallas game early with a back injury, was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice. Outside linebacker Jalyx hunt also practiced in a limited capacity, recovering from a hip injury.
