Tonight is a pretty clean night in terms of injury reporting as all the guys who are injured are already ruled out and have been all week (ie Lesean McCoy and Michael Vick). The Panthers are a relatively healthy bunch as well, with all of their main guys as healthy as you can be at this point of the season. The only notable issue in the past has been Steve Smith and his balky knee, but that seems to have slowly gotten better with more time to rest during the week and he should be a full go today.
For the Eagles, Nick Foles and Bryce Brown will get the start at QB and RB, respectively, against a decent Panthers’ defense. Foles should have a better go of it this time around after the stinker he had last week against a significantly worse defense. Brown is a bit of a wild card, as he’s looked ok in short spurts, but we haven’t seen much of him otherwise. Keep an eye on how he looks today since the Eagles don’t have anything left to play for, McCoy may not be called upon anytime soon. Concussions are a tricky deal and sometimes it’s not worth potential long term implications to bring someone back to play meaningless games.
