Philadelphia Eagles injury report
The Philadelphia Eagles will miss a handful of players for this game. Wide receiver Quez Watkins was limited in the team's last practice due to a hamstring injury, and he's unlikely to participate as a precaution.
Moreover, fellow wideout Greg Ward missed practice due to an ankle injury of his own and isn't likely to feature either. Furthermore, three active team members are on injured reserve: cornerback Zech McPhearson, defensive tackle Noah Elliss and wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland.
The Philadelphia Eagles are unlikely to field a full-strength team, as they would rather keep their squad fresh ahead of the September league opener. Nick Sirianni could prefer to give his second and third stringers a runout instead.
Indianapolis Colts injury report
The Indianapolis Colts also have a slew of players unavailable. Linebacker JoJo Domann is in the league's concussion protocol, as he suffered a concussion in practice.
Cornerback Darius Rush is unlikely to be available, as he suffered a hip injury in the Colts' last preseason game. Moreover, linebacker Shaquille Leonard is questionable due to being in concussion protocol.
The Indianapolis Colts will love to field a strong squad against the Eagles as they look to put the finishing touches on their roster. Expect star rookie Anthony Richardson to start at QB and other first-teamers to have a runout.
