Summary

Jonathan Greenard's availability for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders is in question. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio expressed worry that Greenard, who underwent a pectoral injury during offseason weightlifting, may not be active for the clash. This injury has kept him from participating in training camp, missing valuable practice time with his new teammates as this season marks his first in Philadelphia. The Eagles traded multiple third-round picks for Greenard, who was expected to fill the gap left by Jaelan Phillips. His absence would be a significant blow to the Eagles' defensive lineup.
