The Philadelphia Eagles rule linebacker/edge rusher Jonathan Greenard out for their Week 1 home opener against the Washington Commanders after a pectoral injury. Multiple outlets report Greenard says he feels close to being ready but not enough to play this weekend.
The injury occurs before the start of training camp while Greenard is lifting weights. As a result, he misses all of training camp and the preseason and is limited in practice leading into the season opener. One report adds that the Eagles activated Greenard from the PUP list during roster cuts rather than leaving him there through the first four games, though he still does not make the Week 1 lineup.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis: some focus on Greenard’s own remarks about his readiness level, while others frame the situation as a cautious approach to a returning offseason acquisition. All sources align that his pectoral injury delays his return and leads to him missing the season opener.
