*Sidney Jones – Noteworthy – Injury
CB Sidney Jones isn’t likely to play on Sunday because of a hamstring injury suffered in last week’s game against the Giants.
Corey Graham – Noteworthy – Injury
S Corey Graham could miss his third straight game with a hamstring injury.
Darren Sproles – Noteworthy – Injury
RB Darren Sproles, who said earlier this year that this would be his final season, continues to struggle to overcome a hamstring injury. He has played in only one game, and that was the season opener. He may not return until after the team’s bye on Nov. 4.
Destiny Vaeao – Noteworthy – Injury – Transaction
DT Destiny Vaeao was placed on reserve/injured by the Eagles Wednesday (Oct. 17) after clearing waivers one day after being waived/injured.
Dexter McDougle – Noteworthy – Transaction
CB Dexter McDougle was signed by the Eagles Wednesday (Oct. 17). His contract was terminated by the Lions on Aug. 31. McDougle, who played in eight games with the Eagles last year, could get some snaps in the slot when the Eagles shift into their nickel defense. “McDougle I think, one, comes in and he was a role-player or situational guy for us,” said head coach Doug Pederson. “He’s got to get caught up obviously with the game plan and terminology again. The one thing that I guess from his side and our side is we have familiarity. He was with us in camp and things of that nature a year ago. We are comfortable with him filling a need, filling a role right now. We’ll get him coached up and ready to go.”
Jason Peters – Noteworthy – Injury
LT Jason Peters will apparently play after all on Sunday despite tearing a biceps muscle in last Thursday’s win over the New York Giants. Peters has also struggled most of the year with a quad injury. The team, however, remains confident that Peters is still the same Pro Bowl player that he has been in the past. “He definitely can play, no concern with injuring him any further or anything like that,” said Eagles head coach Doug Pederson. “But all the confidence in the world with him, and he’ll be ready to go.”
Treyvon Hester – Noteworthy
DT Treyvon Hester, who was signed from the practice squad in Week 5, will probably see more playing time after DT Destiny Vaeao was waived with an undisclosed injury. “He’s a big part (of the puzzle),” head coach Doug Pederson said of Hester. “Obviously we brought him in to do that and to fill a role, fill a need, and we’ll continue to progress with him each and every week.”
Winston Craig – Noteworthy – Transaction
DT Winston Craig was signed by the Eagles to the practice squad Wednesday (Oct. 17). He had been released by the Eagles from the practice squad Oct. 7.
