It looks like the Eagles will have at least one of their starting cornerbacks in the lineup on Saturday night.
Coach Chip Kelly said before Wednesday’s practice that rookie Eric Rowe has been cleared to return to the field, putting him on track to play against the Redskins in a game the Eagles have to win if they’re going to wind up as the NFC East’s playoff representative this year.
With Rowe back, the Eagles are waiting to see if Byron Maxwell will be able to go this weekend. Maxwell suffered a sprained SC joint in his shoulder and Kelly said, via Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer, that he’s progressing but not able to get on the field at this point in the week.
Kelly also said that the team is not considering shutting defensive tackle Bennie Logan down for the rest of the season. Logan has a calf injury and a report this week indicated it could force him to the sideline for the rest of the year, but Kelly said Wednesday that he’s day-to-day.
