Carter is dealing with a injury, and Greenard is still dealing with a pectoral injury.

Philadelphia Eagles Practice Report

• DNP – DT Jalen Carter (wrist), DB Cooper DeJean (calf/abdomen)
• LIMITED – OLB Jonathan Greenard (pectoral)

DeJean was listed with a calf and abdomen issue and appeared to injure himself on a play in the second quarter against Washington.

According to Jeff Kerr of SI.com, Washington targeted DeJean nine times in the pass game on Sunday, completing seven passes for five first downs and 30 yards after the catch.

DeJean didn't seem to think the injury contributed to his play on Sunday.

“Not too much,” DeJean stated.

Speaking after practice on Wednesday, DeJean sounded like a guy who was going to play on Sunday.

“I’m good. I’ll be alright,” DeJean said.
