Eagles Give Multiple HUGE Updates...

The Philadelphia Eagles gave multiple huge injury updates ahead of their Week 5 London matchup versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Eagles fans have some room for optimism, but certainly some room for pessimism. Unfortunately, I'm your host Colin Kelly. Welcome to Eagles Digest. We're going to react to this Thursday injury report where a lot is to be dissected. Why the Eagles are in a tricky spot though. before we do subscribe to join the most passionately informed community of Eagles fans it's free after all most of you not subscribed we're so close to 2,500 subs when you look at the state of this Eagles team Saquon Barkley you know it's always going to be a tall order for him to play in this matchup versus Jacksonville in London nonetheless not participating in practice the hammy he's in all likelihood you're not going to play you've got Hollywood Brown Marcus Epps not practicing as well Jonathan Grenard unfortunately not practicing Eagles losing a potentially huge even in a limited snap count edge presence ability to pressure the quarterback and then you look at Drew Kendall the new center the center of the future with the of course Cam Juergens trade earlier this week not participating due to a knee injury and then a hammy Devante Smith still not practicing on a little bit of a brighter side you do have Zach Vaughn limited so he looks like he's potentially moving out of the concussion protocol you've also got Dontavian Wicks popping up with a hamstring another receiver hamstring injury so another not so positive notably you also had Dallas Goddard be a limited participant so things are trending certainly better than they have with one Dallas Goddard. So where you potentially gain a pass catcher, maybe you lose a pass catcher. But how about Quinion Mitchell? Full participant in practice. That's huge. That's huge for this Eagles defense. We knew it did not go well those last few drives in the Rams game. Quinion Mitchell can make a massive difference in just keeping the Eagles in competitive hopes in this London matchup. Because without him, you're looking at a potential but that's just not the case and when i think about how this matchup lines up eagles versus jags courtesy of calci thank you for sponsoring today's video you look at the market right now the jags 76 chance to win versus the eagles just 24 not so great which is understandable the beauty of calci though is you're trading directly against other users not the house like traditional sports books you're buying yes or no contracts on the outcome of events related to politics even weather markets but of course sports like your Philadelphia Eagles and when I think about how this game plays out I think you're going to see some points scored here especially when I look at 42 plus points for the total the Jags have a solid offense Liam Cohen led team Trevor Lawrence it got some weapons in the past game to be sure but the Eagles getting back a Dallas Goddard I think significantly raises both the floor and the ceiling of this office just a really big time security blanket and so when i look at this 42 plus points a 25 yes trade at 54 chance to pay 46 50 cents if you're interested in kaoshi signing up with the link in the description and pin comment using code digest nfl get 55 added to your account instantly when you trade your first 25 when you look at some of the weird things that are popping up the notable Dontavian Wicks injury courtesy of Jeff McLean Dontavian Wicks added to the report with a hammy limited today which suggests it happened today is something going on with this Eagles training regimen as far as receivers are concerned as far as medical personnel I don't know what's going on why is it now a third Eagles wide receiver We, of course, know Devontae Smith was, of course, out this past week, a hamstring injury. But with Makai Lemon, Devontae Smith notably dealt with a hammy throughout a majority of preseason. And here, Devontae Wicks all of a sudden pops up again. You gotta think there's something going on here. It just smells weird how a third wide receiver, how now all three of your top wide receivers have dealt with hamstring injuries this early in the season. the positive I alluded in my stance of this game Dallas Goddard courtesy of Ashlyn Sullivan Goddard tells me he's very confident he'll be able to play Sunday versus the Jacks that that's huge all you want all we can ask is Eagles fans is for Jalen Hurts to have some level of comfort with all the change going on in front of him and around him getting Dallas Goddard I think is massive for this Eagles team in the context of this Sunday matchup to have any type of competitive hopes a Dallas Goddard he is a big boost just quick throws consistent target option over the middle of the field one of now will certainly look set to be the most have the most rapport of any weapon available this Sunday any pass catcher for one Jalen Hurts the impact that Dallas Goddard can provide now along the offense alluding to all the change around Jalen Hurts what gives you some reason for concern here look at all the injuries you look at the offensive line though in particular Drew Kendall not practicing this week after being a bit of a bright spot when he's been tasked called upon early in this season all of a sudden you're looking at two potential debuts in terms of starts in the interior at both left guard and center Willie Lampkin notably filling in at left guard but not even pictured on the on the depth chart technically for the Philadelphia Eagles as far as center is one Jake Majors who with Lampkin in the preseason actually along with Markel Bell were some relative bright spots you look at Jake Majors in particular he had this to say when asked about his potential season debut my goal every week is to prepare like a starter he talked about the coaches instilling confidence in him as well look the Eagles have clear confidence and trust in their young offensive linemen to even make the Cam Jurgens type of trade of course Drew Kendall has filled in has done relatively a relative good job to be clear but then you look at the likes of willie lampkin the 511 one of the shortest offensive linemen in the nfl but the wrestling background an absolute bowling ball a menace to deal with even at his size he's just able to get a lot of leverage jake majors a young a second year player but a guy that the eagles have clear trust and confidence in and he talks about the preparation that he's been undergoing the mindset of being like of being a starter week in week out He played significant preseason minutes. I'm ready to be pleasantly surprised by this Eagles offense, by at least the offensive line with some fresh legs. We know the toll it can take on the veteran presences. Mylotta, Cam Jurgens, of course, Landon Dickerson on the IR. We wish all the best to Lane Johnson. It's a new era for Eagles offensive line. We're going to get a real glimpse of it this matchup. While maybe the odds are stacked against them, the talent, the Jags defense, we've got some optimism. I've got reason to be pleasantly surprised. I think with how this Eagles offense, especially under Sean Mannion, has looked in the second half, I think something's got to give. I think there's, with the injury situation, there's going to be game plan, all the talk about identity, the issues around that, or the Eagles' lack thereof. Something's got to change. Something will certainly change with a lot of new personnel on Sunday as far as the offense is concerned. defensively one of the big takeaways quinion mitchell having him healthy really gives the eagles any chance i think of staying relatively competitive in this game but also how about a zach bond getting him back those two are arguably the best two defenders in terms of form right now on this eagles defense we know the defensive line especially now without jonathan bernard it looks like again haven't been the most lethal in terms of converting pressures into sacks Trevor Lawrence, an athletic quarterback, going to have, I think, some time, some options against the Seagulls secondary, the second levels, if you will. So Zach Vaughn, Queen on Mitchell, I think they at least give the Eagles a shot in this matchup. Guys, I want to hear from you, particularly your feelings about the game, but how about the offense? When it seems like all the chips are stacked against them, do you expect the offense to look better at least as far as their second half performances how they sound this season has transpired thus far i think we do see a bit of a better eagles second half offense i think we see an eagles offense that could surprise us relative to expectations but do you guys agree let me know down below have a great one i'll see you next one as always go birds
