Corey Graham – Important – Injury
S Corey Graham, who played all 71 snaps against the Titans last week, got just three snaps against the Vikings, though some of that was injury related. Coach Doug Pederson did not update Graham’s injury status.
Jay Ajayi – Important – Injury – Transaction
RB Jay Ajayi was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury, the Eagles announced Monday. Multiple media outlets reported Ajayi suffered a torn ACL, which would be a season-ending injury. Ajayi questioned the reduced role of the running game after Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but he will not be a factor after suffering the injury against the Vikings. He had eight carries for 29 yards and a fumble on Sunday and has 184 rushing yards for the season.
T.Y. McGill – Important – Transaction
