Linebacker Jonathan Greenard has been practicing for the Eagles this week, but it remains unclear whether he’ll be on the field against the Commanders on Sunday.
Greenard did not practice at all this summer due to a pectoral injury and has been listed as limited on the first two injury reports of the week. Friday will bring another practice and the issuing of injury designations that could shed more light on whether the offseason acquisition will be part of the Week 1 plan.
“They haven’t told me anything,” Greenard said Thursday, via Reuben Frank of NBCSportsPhiladelphia.com. “I just know I’ve been getting right, going through the motions of just trying to get back into the swing of things before I get fully thrown out there. But it’s something every day. So I just listen to them. I trust their judgment. I’m literally just trying to work day by day. Like, I literally am out there every second trying to just show what I can do. And that’s tough for them, but I feel pretty solid. . . . It’s not for me to decide. I feel good, though. I will say I feel I’m in a good spot. I know that I’m working every day to continue to try to get this thing stronger. We’re close. I know that.”
Greenard will likely play a reduced number of snaps if he is active against Washington, but the Eagles will take whatever they can get if Greenard is ready to start helping the team’s pass rush.
