Super Bowl LIX: Final Eagles injury report
Player | Position | Injury | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
Britain Covey | WR | Neck | OUT |
Brandon Graham | DE | Elbow | Questionable |
C.J. Uzomah | TE | Abdomen | OUT |
Despite logging three full practices leading up to the Eagles-Chiefs clash, wide receiver/special teams ace Britain Covey is out due to a neck issue. He's still on injured reserve (IR) and would require a roster spot if activated, so his absence is ostensibly a math problem for Philadelphia. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old had the most punt return yards in football in 2023 (417), highlighting the field-flipping ability the team will continue missing dearly.
Like Covey, veteran tight end C.J. Uzomah is on IR, though he's tending to an abdomen ailment. The Eagles must elevate him to the active 53-man group to play, something they would've already done, considering they did it for this next player.
Longtime Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham has been activated for the Super Bowl ahead of what might be the final game of his 15-year career. He has made an improbably quick and timely recovery from a torn tricep, which was initially deemed season-ending. The Philadelphia legend hopes to punctuate a remarkable decade-and-a-half-long tenure with the franchise by bringing a second title to the city under his watch.
