The Philadelphia Eagles listed three players on their initial injury report ahead of their Week 2 Monday Night Football matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, but it grew as the week progressed.
Here's the Eagles-Falcons injury report, with analysis.
| Player | Injury | Thurs | Fri | Sat | Status |
| DT Milton Williams | Foot | Limited | Limited | Full | - |
| CB Isaiah Rodgers | Hand | Full | Full | Full | - |
| LB Devin White | Ankle | Full | Full | Full | - |
| WR A.J. Brown | Hamstring | - | Limited | DNP | Out |
| OT Fred Johnson | Thumb | Limited | Full | - | |
| WR Johnny Wilson | Hamstring | - | - | DNP | Questionable |
| OL Tyler Steen | Ankle | - | - | Full |
Thursday notes:
• Williams' foot injury wasn't previously known.
• Rodgers said on Thursday that he broke his hand on the last day of training camp. He'll have to play with a cast.
Friday notes:
• Brown presumably injured his hamstring in practice on Friday. Nick Sirianni will speak with the media late Saturday morning, and will be asked about that.
Sunday notes:
• Brown is out. More here.
• S Sydney Brown (PUP): Brown tore an ACL in the 2023 regular season finale against the New York Giants, and is still rehabbing that injury. During training camp practices, Brown could be found standing well behind the action during team drills, engaged and taking mental reps. He also did sprints on a side field, and looked fast.
But he'll spend the first four games on the PUP list. The Eagles have four safeties on their active roster — Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Reed Blankenship, Avonte Maddox, and Tristin McCollum.
• S James Bradberry (IR): The Eagles kept Bradberry on their active roster for no good reason at 53-man cutdowns, and then the next day he suffered a "lower body" injury that will keep him out 6-8 weeks.
• WR Ainias Smith (IR): After a shaky camp that finished mildly promisingly, Smith conveniently suffered an ankle injury that will keep him out 4-6 weeks.
• TE Albert Okwuegbunam (IR): The Eagles burned an IR-DFR designation on Okwuegbunam prior to 53-man cutdowns. He is out a projected 6-8 weeks with a core muscle injury.
| Player | Injury | Thurs | Fri | Sat | Status |
| CB Antonio Hamilton | Groin | DNP | Limited | Limited | Out |
| LB Nate Landman | Calf, Quad | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| OT Caleb McGary | Groin | Limited | Limited | Full | - |
| RB Jase McClellan | Knee | - | Limited | Full | - |
Thursday notes:
• The most important player on the Falcons' injury report is McGary, who is their starting RT.
Friday notes:
• McGary remained limited in practice. Storm Norton would likely start if McGary can't play.
Sunday notes:
• The Falcons will be without a pair of inconsequential players. Otherwise they're a healthy team.
• WR Rondale Moore (IR): Moore had three disappointing seasons in Arizona, before the Cardinals traded him to the Falcons for QB Desmond Ridder.
• S DeMarcco Hellams (IR): Hellams played in 15 games for the Falcons as a rookie in 2023, starting four. He had 40 tackles, no sacks, INTs, or FFs.
• EDGE Bralen Trice (IR): Trice was the Falcons' third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
