Share

Eagles inside linebackers Mychal Kendricks and DeMeco Ryans are both questionable for Sunday's game in Carolina with hamstring injuries.

Linebacker Kiko Alonso (knee) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle) have been ruled out for Sunday night's game.

Wideout Riley Cooper (knee) and defensive end Brandon Bair (groin) are also questionable, while wideout Josh Huff (knee) is probable.

Kendricks suffered his hamstring injury against Dallas on Sept. 20. He returned against the Redskins but aggravated his injury and left after 11 snaps. He's missed the last two games but practiced in full this week.

Ryans injured his hamstring in the first half of Monday's game against the Giants and did not return. He missed the heaviest practice days — Wednesday and Thursday — this week.

Alsonso (knee) also got hurt on Sept. 20 and hasn't played since. While he returned to practice this week, Alonso said the Dallas game after next week's bye week is his target.

Three of the Eagles' top four inside linebackers are injured, leaving rookie Jordan Hicks as the only healthy one. Najee Goode needed to play against the Giants.

Agholor hurt his ankle against the Saints and missed last week's game vs. the Giants. He didn't practice this week.

During the Giants game, Cooper suffered what the team called a knee contusion. He didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Huff hurt his knee against the Giants, too, but was able to practice all week.

Panthers injuries
Veteran defensive end Jared Allen will start Sunday for the Panthers after missing last week's game with a pinched nerve in his back.

Linebacker A.J. Klein and cornerback Teddy Williams will also play after clearing the NFL's concussion protocol.

Carolina will be without rookie linebacker Shaq Thompson (knee), fullback Dwan Edwards (hamstring), fullback Richie Brockel (hamstring) and offensive tackle Daryl Williams (knee).
