Eagles Injury Report: Alshon Jeffery among five players to miss practice

The Philadelphia Eagles released their first official injury report on Wednesday in advance of their Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings.The following five players missed practice: Derek Barnett http://www.philadelphiaeaglesteamonlines.com/zach-ertz-jersey , Corey Clement, Fletcher Cox, Alshon Jeffery, and Darren Sproles. That’s a lot of important people there.Barnett is dealing with a shoulder issue that didn’t prevent him from playing the most snaps of any Eagles defensive end in Week 4. I would guess he’ll be OK for this week.Clement is still missing time with a quad issue. Doug Pederson said he kept Clement out in Week 4 as a “precaution” and described the second-year running back as “day-to-day.” We’ll have to see how Clement progresses this week.Pederson lumped Sproles into the same boat as Clement. “Day-to-day.” The Eagles could really use at least one of Sproles or Clement back due to their third down back abilitiesCox is dealing with an ankle issue that caused him to come out for a little bit in the Eagles-Titans game. I’d guess the Eagles are taking it easy on him so he’ll be ready for Sunday. The Inquirer reports there’s “nothing to worry about” with Cox.Jeffery is listed with a chest issue. It did look like he got a little banged up at one point during last week’s game but he didn’t miss much playing time. The Inquirer reports there’s “nothing to worry about” with Jeffery’s status.Jason Peters was a limited participant on Wednesday. Peters is still dealing with the quad issue that forced him to leave the Eagles’ Week 2 game early. On Peters’ injury, Pederson said “from time to time it flares up on him.” The Eagles are likely taking it easy on their 36-year-old left tackle leading up to Sunday.It’s still early in the week to know for sure who will be missing from the Eagles’ Week 5 game. We’ll find out more based on Thursday’s report.

Cook had 10 carries for a mere 20 yards (2.0 average) and no reception against the Rams last week. Mike Zimmer told reporters that Griffen won’t return to the Vikings until Week 6 at the earliest, so it looks like the Eagles won’t have to face him.Backup corner and kick/punt returner Marcus Sherels returned to practice after missing the last two games. He was limited. Starting defensive lineman Linval Joseph was also limited.DID NOT PARTICIPATECB Trae Waynes (concussion)RB Dalvin Cook (hamstring)DE Everson Griffen (knee/not injury related)LIMITED PARTICIPATIONDE Tashawn Bower (ankle)CB Marcus Sherels (ribs)NT Linval Joseph (shoulder)FULL PARTICIPATIONLS Kevin McDermott (finger)LB Eric Kendricks (elbow)WR Laquon Treadwell (finger)DT Tom Johnson (ankle)OT Riley Reiff (foot)S Anthony Harris (hamstring) The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced the inactives list for their Divisional Round game against the New Orleans Saints.The following seven players have been ruled INACTIVE: Carson Wentz, Sidney Jones Malcolm Jenkins Jersey , Mike Wallace, B.J.
