Eagles injury update: Mailata a full participant to start short week

Eagles injury update: Mailata a full participant to start short week originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

A few hours after the Eagles activated Jordan Mailata’s 21-day practice window, the team released its first injury report of the short week.

And they listed Mailata (hamstring) as a full participant.

The Eagles did not practice on Monday, the day after their 34-6 win over the Cowboys.

So those will be opportunities for him to do that. But, like I said, we’ll see where he is by the end of the week. We don’t have to make a decision now. We have time. Excited that he has the possibility to be back. But, again, Fred (Johnson) has done a nice job and we’ll play it by ear. If Jordan’s not ready, he won’t go. If he’s ready, he’ll go. We’ll see where we are at the end of the week.”

By activating Mailata’s practice window on Monday, the Eagles have 21 days to activate him to their active roster. But it seems like it won’t take that long.
