With one more day before the matchup in Seattle on Monday night, Head Coach Nick Sirianni decided to flip the schedule and start the week with a full practice rather than a walkthrough.
On Thursday, Sirianni stated, “Everything is fluid in attempts to get better.” “I think this is an opportunity for us to improve because we need to go out there and focus on our foundations.” It’s the end of the year. Late in the season, you may not always have this chance because you have to strike a balance between having them play fresh and rested, as well as being psychologically and physically prepared.”
The Eagles’ three injured players on Thursday were guard Cam Jurgens, linebacker Zach Cunningham,
Due to a concussion, safety Reed Blankenship had to leave the game early on Sunday night. He was only partially active on Thursday.
After the injury, rookie safety Sydney Brown, who replaced Blankenship on the field, expressed his excitement at having Reed back. “I was thrilled to have the chance. All I had to do was make sure I continued where he left off and fill in the shoes. I know he didn’t want to leave that game, so it will be amazing to see him do his thing now that he is back.”
Before playing again, Blankenship would need to pass the NFL’s concussion protocol.
