The Eagles will enter the regular-season opener at Washington in fairly good shape from an injury perspective.

While reserve cornerback Brandon Hughes (hand) and backup right tackle Dennis Kelly (back) are now listed as out for Week One, no other players were on the Eagles’ Friday injury report.

The 27-year-old Hughes is one of the Eagles’ regulars on special teams. He’s appeared in 30 regular-season games for the club since 2010.

Kelly, 23, started seven games at right tackle and three at right guard in 2012 for Philadelphia. First-round pick Lane Johnson is the Eagles’ starting right tackle, with Todd Herremans the right guard. Herremans can also play right tackle, adding to the Eagles’ flexibility on this side of the line.
