Philadelphia Eagles injury report: Exploring team's status ahead of wild-card matchup vs. Packers

The Philadelphia Eagles will start their 2024 playoffs campaign against a familiar foe: the Green Bay Packers. The Eagles will look to get the better of the Packers in a wild-card round fixture at the Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

Let's look at injury updates on notable players ahead of the game against the Green Bay Packers.

Philadelphia Eagles injury report

A.J. Brown's injury update

According to the Philadelphia Eagles website, A. J. Brown participated only partially in Wednesday's training session. The report states that the 3x Pro Bowler wide receiver is dealing with a knee injury and has a veteran's rest day.

Eagles fans don't need to worry, as Brown's appearance on the injury report is a mere precaution. The veteran pass catcher earned another 1,000-plus season in 2024 (his fifth in six seasons) and will look to help the Eagles on a deep postseason push.

Trevor Keegan's injury update

According to the team website, Trevor Keegan did not participate in Wednesday's training session. The guard is dealing with an undisclosed illness.

Kenny Pickett's injury update

According to Rotowire, Kenny Pickett participated only partially in Wednesday's training session. The veteran backup quarterback is dealing with an injury to his ribs.

Pickett suffered the injury in his side's Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders. He soldiered despite the injury against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17 but was inactive in Week 18. He'll look to prove his fitness for the game against the Packers by featuring heavily in practice.

Jalen Hurts injury update

According to Yahoo Sports, Jalen Hurts made his long-awaited return to training on Wednesday. The dual-threat star hasn't played since suffering a concussion in Week 16 against the Washington Commanders; he has been in the concussion protocol since.

However, Hurts has returned to training early enough to prove his fitness for his side's wild-card matchup. The report states that offensive linemen Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata believe that Hurts looked sharp in training. That's great news for a Philadelphia Eagles fan base that'll want their star quarterback under center against a dangerous Green Bay Packers side on wild-card weekend.
