Eagles Injury Update: Peters, Murray, Kendricks questionable

Share

Starters Jason Peters, DeMarco Murray and Michael Kendricks are all listed as questionable for the Eagles’ game against the Redskins Sunday at FedEx Field, Peters with a quad injury and Kendricks and Murray with hamstrings.

Ryan Mathews would make his second straight start at running back if Murray is unable to play and rookie Jordan Hicks would start at inside linebacker if Kendricks can’t play.

If the Eagles are without Peters, it would be another blow to an offensive line that has struggled all year.

The Eagles have already lost right guard Andrew Gardner for the season. He’s been replaced by Matt Tobin.

The other backups on the active roster are Dennis Kelly, Julian Vandervelde and Josh Andrews.

Tobin and Kelly and current left guard Allen Barbre can all play guard or tackle, so if Peters is unable to play the Eagles could either just start Kelly at left tackle or swing either Tobin or Barbre out to left tackle and move Kelly to one of the guard spots.

Kelly has started 13 games in his career — seven at right tackle (all in 2012), four at right guard and two at left guard.

The Eagles also list safety and special teamer Chris Maragos questionable with a quad injury.

The Eagles officially ruled out linebacker Kiko Alonso (knee) and defensive ends Taylor Hart (shoulder) and Cedric Thornton (hand) for Sunday.

Listed as probable are tight end Trey Burton (shoulder) and wide receivers Riley Cooper (knee) and Josh Huff (hamstring).
