Eagles coach downplays Jonathan Greenard's readiness for upcoming game
Summary

Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio provided an update on edge rusher Jonathan Greenard's recovery from a pectoral injury. Fangio stated that Greenard is not yet prepared for a full workload, indicating that he has missed training camp and the first two games of the season. While there is hope he could participate in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, Fangio emphasized that Greenard is still not near the level needed for significant impact. During his last full season, Greenard was one of the league's top pass rushers, but his performance last year was limited due to injury.
