Eagles Rule Out Jonathan Greenard for Jaguars Game in London

The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London without edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, who was ruled out because of an ankle injury before the Week 5 matchup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, according to sports.yahoo.com.

Greenard suffered the injury during Philadelphia's Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, then missed practice during the following week. According to sports.yahoo.com, he tested the ankle during warmups but was later placed on the inactive list.

The Eagles also entered the game without three other key players. According to sports.yahoo.com, running back Saquon Barkley missed his first game of the season because of a hamstring injury, while wide receiver DeVonta Smith missed his second consecutive game with the same issue.

Philadelphia's offensive changes extended to the interior line, with starting center Drew Kendall ruled out because of a knee injury, according to sports.yahoo.com. The team also lost right tackle Lane Johnson after his retirement and moved left guard Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens through a trade.

Greenard's absence created another challenge for the Eagles defense after his limited availability early in the season. According to sports.yahoo.com, he had already missed the first three games because of a pectoral injury before returning against the Rams in Week 4.
