Overview
- Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said he is concerned Greenard may not be active for Week 1, signaling a meaningful change in the team's immediate plans.
- Greenard has missed all of training camp and has not practiced after suffering a pectoral strain during the offseason, and he currently remains on the PUP list.
- If Greenard is still on PUP when rosters are set he would be required to miss at least the first four regular‑season games, which would force a longer absence than just Week 1.
- Philadelphia is compensating by increasing snaps for Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith Jr., A.J. Epenesa and Arnold Ebiketie to protect against rushing Greenard back before he is ready.
- The Eagles spent multiple third‑round picks to acquire Greenard from Minnesota and signed him to a near‑$100 million extension, so his missed preparation and delayed integration raise short‑term questions about the defense's cohesion and early‑season pass rush.
