The Eagles will encounter a pivotal game on Sunday Night against the Dolphins. After coming off their first loss of the season, the Eagles’ are disheartened, to put it nicely. The Eagles lost their winning streak of the season to the New York Jets with an ugly 20-14 score. One of the reasons for their loss might be the absence of important players like Tackle Lane Johnson and others.

Johnson is currently undergoing treatment for his ankle injury. However, as the Eagles prepare to welcome the Dolphins this Sunday on their home ground, they have some of their injured players joining them back for the highly awaited clash.

As per the detailed injury walkthrough by the Eagles on Wednesday, four important players are not practicing. But, on the brighter side, two other players, who have missed many games this season due to their injuries, have full participation on Wednesday. It is expected that safety Sydney Brown, who was suffering from a hamstring injury, and defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu, who was suffering from a triceps injury, will make a return.

Along with them, defensive tackle Jalen Carter (ankle) and cornerback Darius Slay (knee) were sidelined during practice, bringing in more good news for the team. Safety Reed Blankenship-suffering from a rib injury and CB Bradley Robby-suffering from a shoulder injury exited the games against the Jets, of course, owing to their injuries. Moreover, they did not practice on Wednesday as well. Thus, the two remain questionable for the week 7 clash against the Dolphins. However, there are other two players whom the audience awaits the most, who might not make it to Sunday’s clash.
