Eagles Injury update: Several key players sidelined at start of OTAs

The Philadelphia Eagles are taking the field at the Nova Care Complex for the start of the on-field portion of OTAs and several big named Eagles are either not in attendance or off to the side due to injuries and maintenance.

Jason Peters, Lane Johnson and Alshon Jeffery are several of the other #Eagles veterans who aren’t out here for the start of voluntary OTAs.

Corey Clement, Rodney McLeod, Ronald Darby are stretching without helmets. A sign they’re not yet ready for practice after finishing last year on IR.

Miles Sanders is in a visor on sideline. Doesn’t appear to be practicing.

The absences allowed some players to get extra work with Jordan Mailata lining up at right tackle in place of Lane Johnson. Carson Wentz is participating without limitations or a knee brace, which is a great sign.
