The Birds have released two official injury reports this week ahead of the divisional showdown in Philadelphia. Let's see if any key players will be unavailable for Thursday night's game.

Eagles injury report for Thursday's opening game

The Eagles issued their second and updated injury report for Thursday's curtain raiser after their practice on Tuesday. They listed five players on the injury report, with backup quarterback Tanner McKee (right thumb) being the only player who did not participate.

McKee is still suffering from a fractured right thumb that is severe enough to keep him out of practice entirely. It's becoming less likely that the quarterback will be available for Thursday's game against the Cowboys after missing practice for the second straight day. Sam Howell will most likely be the Eagles' primary backup QB behind starter Jalen Hurts.

The latest injury report is better than the one on Monday, when guard Landon Dickerson was inactive in practice because of a back issue. Edge rusher Joshua Uche (groin) and rookie safety Andrew Mukuba (hamstring) were also limited in practice on Monday, but they were able to fully participate on Tuesday.

Landon Dickerson's injury update

The Eagles began the week with a practice on Monday in which Landon Dickerson did not participate. The star offensive lineman sustained an injury during training camp, but coach Nick Sirianni clarified that Monday's absence was due to a different injury.

Dickerson joined his teammates back on the practice field on Tuesday as a full participant and is prepared to start on Thursday night.

Andrew Mukuba's injury update

A shoulder and hamstring ailment kept Andrew Mukuba out of training camp for a long time. However, he participated fully in the Eagles' practice on Tuesday for the first time in a while.

With Sydney Brown expected to be the starter for Thursday night’s season opener against the Cowboys, the second-round rookie will be fit enough to make the bench as a backup.
