Greenard one step closer to playing after Eagles don't rule him out for Bears
Sep 26, 2026
Jonathan Greenard, the $98 million offseason free agent acquisition, is one step closer to making his Eagles debut.
Greenard, who the Eagles ruled out the last two weeks following the practice week, is listed this week as questionable for the game Monday night against the Bears in Chicago with th
e pectoral injury that sidelined him for all of training camp and the Commanders and Titans games.So at least he has a chance.
Greenard, who had 12-sack seasons in 2023 and 2024, was listed as a full practice participant Saturday, the first time he hasn’t been limited since he returned to practice before the opener.
“He’s had a good week,” Nick Sirianni said before practice Saturday. “It’s exciting to have him out there. We’ll see where we are at the end of today. I feel like he’s had a good week. He brings good energy. I’ve really enjoyed … I mean, I’ve hated that he hasn’t been able to go in for him and for our team, but I’ve really enjoyed being around him on the sideline and what he’s like on a game day.
“He’s got a lot of knowledge, and he’s really good with his teammates, and that’s been very noticeable to me, and I’m excited when it’s the time to get him back out there. He’s worked his butt off to be able to get back out there as soon as possible. I’m excited to have that leadership that I’ve seen him show when not playing. Excited about him, and he’s had a good week, though.”
Good news also for the Eagles’ leading receiver, DeVonta Smith, who missed practice Thursday with a hamstring and was limited Friday. He practiced fully on Saturday and does not have an injury status for Monday night, so he is good to go.
The Eagles listed Dallas Goedert (knee), Hollywood Brown (ankle) and Fred Johnson (knee) as out for Monday. That means rookie Markel Bell will back up both offensive tackle spots.
Also listed as full participants and carrying no injury designations: Saquon Barkley (stinger), Tank Bigsby (abdomen), Jalen Carter (wrist), Drew Mukuba (knee) and Tyler Steen (shoulder).
