The Eagles opened Jurgens’ 21-day practice window on Wednesday and he was only able to participate in a limited capacity this week. The Eagles are set to play Tyler Steen at right guard with Sua Opeta heading to the bench. This change makes sense since Opeta has been struggling but there’s a lot of pressure on Steen to step up in his first NFL start. Jurgens could be ready to play after the Eagles’ Week 10 bye.
Roby is set to miss his third straight game. The Eagles will hope to have him back after their Week 10 bye. With Roby out, it’ll be interesting to see how the Eagles handle their nickel cornerback position. Last week, Sydney Brown played on early downs with Eli Ricks playing the slot in more obvious passing situations. Do the Eagles really trust that rotation going up against CeeDee Lamb? Could we see Darius Slay shadow Lamb? Could we see James Bradberry return to playing nickel CB? Such a big question mark for such a key matchup.
Scott did not practice at all this week due to personal reasons. It’s unclear what he has going on. Scott’s absence means Rashaad Penny could be in line for some touches for the first time since Week 2. The Eagles should really be activating Penny anyway since Kenny Gainwell has been struggling as RB2.
Calcaterra was limited in Friday’s practice, which is a good sign that he’s making progress in the concussion protocol. He might only have to miss one game before being able to return after the Week 10 bye.
James Bradberry was added to the Friday injury report with a thigh issue. He was limited in practice but he was listed without a game status, so he’ll be able to play.
