Philadelphia Eagles plan gradual return for Jonathan Greenard

The Philadelphia Eagles will manage the practice and game workload of Jonathan Greenard as he recovers from a pectoral injury. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio stated that the team plans to increase the edge rusher's usage incrementally rather than rushing him into a full role. Greenard was listed as limited on the team's first regular-season injury report ahead of the upcoming game against Washington. While he is participating in practice sessions, the coaching staff will monitor his progress throughout the week to determine his availability. Philadelphia currently utilizes Jalyx Hunt and Arnold Ebiketie and Jalyx Hunt as starters, with Nolan Smith Jr. also contributing to the rotation. The team intends to prioritize a full recovery to avoid setbacks, potentially using Greenard in specific passing situations early in the season.
