Cox is out due to a back injury, and the Eagles will also play the Rams without safety Sydney Brown.
Eagles DT Fletcher Cox after a joint practice with the Colts on the last day of Eagles training camp at the NovaCare Complex in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2023.The Eagles will be without veteran defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, safety Sydney Brown, and reserve interior lineman Marlon Tuipulotu for Sunday’s road game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Both Cox and Tuipulotu missed practice this week. Cox is dealing with a back injury that, according to a league source, led to an epidural injection to alleviate discomfort. The indication is Cox’s injury shouldn’t sideline him long-term, though. Tuipulotu, who has played 12% of the Eagles’ defensive snaps, is dealing with a triceps injury.
Brown returned to practice in a limited capacity this week, but wasn’t a full go during Friday’s session and was ruled out as a result. The third-round rookie out of Illinois will miss his second game with the injury suffered against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers two weeks ago.said the second-year right guard is “week-to-week” with a sprained right foot last Monday. Jurgens made the switch from center to guard this summer and played well in his first three games.
Covey entered the concussion protocol after the Commanders game, but he was a limited participant in practice Thursday and upgraded to a full participant after Friday’s workout. Concussion protocol requires players to avoid exhibiting any concussion-like symptoms after returning to practice, which likely explains his questionable designation.Evans started the first three games of the season opposite Reed Blankenship at safety and figures to return to that spot against the Rams.
On the Rams’ side, coach Sean McVay told local reporters he expects All-Pro receiver Cooper Kupp to make his return from a hamstring injury suffered during training camp. Kupp hasn’t played yet this season, but should be a handful even if he is easing his way back after missing extended time. He is coming off a 2022 season in which he had 75 catches for 812 yards and eight touchdowns.Los Angeles will be without starting right guard Joe Noteboom, according to McVay.
