Jonathan Greenard Set to Make Eagles Debut in Week 3

The activation gives Philadelphia a measured pass-rush boost that tests the value of its high-cost offseason trade plus extension.

Overview

Reports say Greenard will be active for the Eagles’ Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears after missing the first two games with a pectoral injury.
The pass rusher missed most of training camp and the preseason while rehabbing the pectoral issue and was ruled out for Week 1 before remaining day-to-day.
Philadelphia relied on Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith to fill edge-rush snaps during Greenard’s absence and will now adjust its rotation with Greenard available.
Greenard was acquired from the Vikings for two third-round picks and signed a four-year, roughly $100 million extension with about $50 million guaranteed, raising expectations for an immediate impact.
When healthy Greenard has been productive, totaling 24.5 sacks across 2023–24, but his recent shoulder problems and limited practice time mean the Eagles may use him in a phased, lower-snap role to ease him back in.
