Add a quadriceps injury to Jimmy Graham’s medical report

By

Even though the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles won’t practice today (Monday), both teams were required to post injury reports.

The Packers have a total of 14 players on this week’s report, including veteran tight end Jimmy Graham.  Graham was listed on the report last week with a groin injury but played in the Packers 27-16 win over the Denver Broncos.

On today’s injury report, Graham is also listed with a Quadricep injury as well.

The Eagles have a total of 12 players on their injury report, including wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.  Jeffery left the Eagles week two game with a calf injury and missed all of last weeks practice.

Coach Doug Pederson told reporters that he’s hoping to have Jeffery back on the field this week and is hopeful that he can play against the Packers on Thursday night.

Packers open preseason with win over the Eagles

After a sluggish start for the offense, Brett Hundley hit wide receiver Jeff Janis for a 20-yard touchdown and the Green Bay Packers went on to knock off the Philadelphia Eagles 24-9 at Lambeau Field on Thursday.

The score was part of 17 unanswered points in the second quarter.  Trevor Davis also took one of his two punt returns back 68 yards for a touchdown, which likely put him in the driver’s seat for the punt return job this season.

A sprained ankle wiped out Hundley’s preseason a year ago, so his start against the Eagles was his first significant playing time since his rookie season two years ago.

Hundley finished 8 of 15 for 90 yards with a touchdown and an interception.  Mason Crosby also booted a 39-yard field goal to send the Packers into the locker room at halftime with a 17-6 lead.

Third-string quarterback Joe Callahan entered in the third quarter and completed 10 of 16 passes for 103 yards.  Rookie Taysom Hill came on late and threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Michael Clark with nine seconds left to play. [Read more…]

While the Green Bay Packers wouldn’t be mathematically eliminated by losing at Philadelphia tonight, but their post season chances would take a major hit.

The Packers (4-6) will try to end a four-game losing streak against the Eagles (5-5) at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Packers expect to get a pair of defensive starters back tonight.  Both cornerback Damarious Randall and linebacker Jake Ryan are expected to play.

Just how effective Randall (groin) can be remains to be seen.  But he is the only cornerback on the roster that has an interception this season.  The Packers as a team is -6 in turnover differential, which ranks 26th in the NFL this season. [Read more…]

John Moffitt

The Philadelphia Eagles signed former Wisconsin Badger guard John Moffitt to a one-year contract this week.

Moffitt was a third-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2011.  He started 15 games in Seattle before being traded to Denver.  Moffitt played in two games for the Broncos in 2013 before retiring in midseason after losing interest in the game and saying he’s worried about his health.

Moffitt then ran into trouble with the law after being arrested in March 2014 for allegedly punching a man and was charged with assault, public urination and possession of marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy.  The drug charges were eventually released.
