Darren Sproles – Noteworthy – Injury
RB Darren Sproles continues to struggle recovering from a hamstring injury suffered in the opener. He has missed three straight games and could sit out this Sunday’s game, too.
“I’m expecting for Darren to continue to work and work through his injury,” said head coach Doug Pederson. “He’s day-to-day. Again, as a runner, I just want to make sure that he’s 100 percent.”
Jason Peters – Noteworthy – Injury
LT Jason Peters hasn’t been his usual Pro Bowl self these past couple of weeks.
Some of that may have to do with his age (36) and some may have to do with the fact that he is still bothered by a quad strain that he is trying to play through. “From time to time it flares up on him, but he’s tough,” said head coach Doug Pederson. “He’s working through it. He’s managing it and getting treatment on it every day.”
Kyle Wilson – Noteworthy – Transaction
LB Kyle Wilson was signed by the Eagles to their practice squad Tuesday (Oct. 2). He had been waived by the Eagles Sept. 1.
Timmy Jernigan – Noteworthy – Injury
DT Tim Jernigan, a key cog in the team’s run to the Super Bowl last year, hasn’t played since having offseason surgery for a herniated disk in his back.
He was expected back in November, but head coach Doug Pederson didn’t sound optimistic about that during the week. “He’s a guy that we’ll just continue to monitor,” said the coach. “I don’t want to put a cap on him. Don’t want to limit him in any way, and any other expectation than just him getting better and healthy at this time.”
Treyvon Hester – Noteworthy – Transaction
DT Treyvon Hester was signed by the Eagles from their practice squad Wednesday (Oct. 3).
