Eagles Injury Update: Fletcher Cox practices for 2nd straight day

Share

Fletcher Cox was back on the field for the second straight day on Tuesday, two days before the Eagles face the Panthers in Carolina. 

Tuesday's session was a light practice, but Cox had a helmet and was listed as a full participant after being limited on Monday. Cox has missed the Eagles' last two games with a calf injury he suffered against the Giants in Week 3. 

Despite being a full participant on Tuesday, Cox was very noncommittal about his playing status for Thursday. 

"I don't know. I don't make those decisions," Cox said. "I'm not a doctor. And I'm not the head coach. That's the head coach's decision. It's just one of those things, I have one of those injuries where I have to be smart." 

While Cox was on the field Tuesday, the Eagles were without Lane Johnson (concussion) and Wendell Smallwood (knee). 

Johnson suffered a concussion sometime during the first half of Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Smallwood missed the game with a knee injury he suffered against the Chargers the week before. 

Defensive linemen Beau Allen (foot), Chris Long (foot) and Destiny Vaeao (wrist) were listed as limited participants Tuesday. 

The Eagles have a short week without any real practices before they have to battle with another 4-1 NFC team.
