Eagles Injury Update: Bennie Logan, Jason Kelce miss practice

Share

The Eagles were without a couple starters when they took the practice field on Wednesday morning to begin preparations for the Vikings.

Jason Kelce (left foot plantar fasciitis), Bennie Logan (left groin strain), Ron Brooks (calf contusion) and Marcus Smith (right groin strain) all missed Wednesday’s practice.

On Monday, Pederson said Logan’s injury was more significant and the defensive tackle was “week to week.” If Logan can’t play on Sunday, defensive tackle Beau Allen would likely be the starter and play quite a bit more than he’s used to.

While the Eagles were without a couple starters on Wednesday, they did get one back. Cornerback Leodis McKelvin was a full participant after missing Sunday’s game. He worked out on Sunday morning in Washington, but couldn’t go.

With Kelce out on Wednesday, veteran Stefen Wisniewski took first-team reps at center. Wisniewski has been disappointed that the Eagles decided to start Halapoulivaati Vaitai at right tackle instead of the original plan that would have moved Allen Barbre to right tackle and put Wisniewski at left guard.

“It is what it is right now,” Pederson said on Wednesday, when asked about Wisniewski’s disappointment. “It’s our decision. And we’ve made that decision. And he’s a valuable asset to our team. If Kelce goes down or Barbre or one of the guards go down, he’s the next guy in and that’s just where we’re at. We’ll just continue to go that route each week.”

Bryan Braman (shoulder), Jordan Matthews (knee tendinitis), Rodney McLeod (right shoulder sprain) and Mychal Kendricks (rib contusion) all practiced Wednesday. Matthews and Kendricks were limited, as was left guard Allen Barbre (ankle).
