Heading into Week 7, the NFC East is still a tight one. The Philadelphia Eagles hold first with a 5-1 record heading into a tough matchup against the Miami Dolphins Sunday night. The Dallas Cowboys are sitting in second at 4-2 and are on a bye this week after winning their Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers 20-17. The Washington Commanders are in third place with a 3-3 record in a divisional matchup against the last place New York Giants whose record is 1-5. For the Eagles, Commanders and Giants here is the injury report heading into their games this weekend.
Philadelphia Eagles
Coming off a brutal loss to the New York Jets where many key players were out or got hurt in the game, things are looking a lot better for the Eagles this week as many players are back. On Friday’s Injury Report Jalen Carter, Dallas Goedert and Devonta Smith all practiced in limited fashion but do not have an injury designation so they will be playing. Sydney Brown, Lane Johnson, Eli Ricks, Darius Slay, Marlon Tuipulotu and Milton Williams all practiced in full on Friday and they all will be playing as well. Safety Reed Blankenship and cornerback Bradley Roby are the only two players on Friday’s injury report who did not practice and will be inactive against the Dolphins.
Washington Commanders
Joining the Eagles in being healthy is the Commanders that from Friday’s injury report none of their players have their game status up in the air. Jonathan Allen, Sam Cosmi, Kam Curl, Christian Holmes, Chris Paul, James Smith-Williams, Benjamin St.-Juste and Montez Sweat all practiced in full on Friday. Only cornerback Kendall Fuller had a limited practice but he is on the better part of limited with no injury designation.
New York Giants
Unfortunately for the Giants, they have more injuries than the Eagles and Commanders and many are offensive line based. Three offensive linemen did not practice at all this week and are going to be inactive this week. They are Matt Peart, John Michael Schmitz and Andrew Thomas. Both defensive back Adoree Jackson and quarterback Daniel Jones practiced in limited fashion all week and are questionable this week. Offensive tackle Evan Neal did not practice on Wednesday, had a limited practice on Thursday and on Friday went back to did not practice and he is questionable to play as well. Running back Saquon Barkley and kicker Graham Gano were limited in practice the whole week but they will play. Gary Brightwell, D.J. Davidson, Cor’Dale Flott, Mark Glowinski, Tre Hawkins and Wan’Dale Robinson all practiced fully on Friday and are ready to suit up.
