The latest news on Philadelphia and New Orleans.
The Philadelphia Eagles issued their first official injury report on Wednesday in advance of their Week 3 road game against the New Orleans Saints.
Note that this report is an estimation because the team held a walkthrough in lieu of a normal practice after last playing on Monday night.
The Eagles listed two players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: A.J. Brown and Johnny Wilson.
Brown suffered a hamstring injury during practice last week. He missed the Eagles’ matchup against the Atlanta Falcons and he told ESPN that he could miss at least one more game, if not more. Just not ideal for the Eagles to be without arguably their best and most important player.
Wilson was questionable to play on Monday night due to also suffering a hamstring injury in practice last week. He ended up suiting up but it seems like he may have aggravated the issue? Or perhaps the Eagles are just being cautious with him? We’ll see if he’s able to practice or not over the next two days.
If the Eagles are without both Brown and Wilson on Sunday, they’ll have just three healthy receivers on the roster: DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, and Britain Covey. They’ll also likely temporarily elevate Parris Campbell from the practice squad again. And maybe another receiver as well?

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS INJURY REPORT (WEDNESDAY)
The Saints’ injury report is longer than the Eagles’ list.
Four Saints players did not practice: tight end/quarterback/gadget player Taysom Hill, rotational defensive tackle Khalen Saunders, backup linebacker D’Marco Jackson, and backup tackle Landon Young.
Hill is expected to be upgraded to limited on Thursday. So, he might be able to suit up.
Four Saints players were limited: staring cornerback Marshon Lattimore, starting left tackle Taliese Fuaga, starting safety Tyrann Mathieu, and depth wide receiver Cedrick Wilson.
Lattimore missed last week’s game after being unable to practice. Seems like the four-time Pro Bowler might be able to play against the Eagles.
Fuaga was able to play through a back injury last week. He could do it again this Sunday.
Mathieu got banged up in the Saints’ demolition of the Dallas Cowboys. He still might be able to play.
